The Beer Head Ortolan holds the record I think - might even be double figures now!<br />Your reminding me about the internet nickery has just made me search out the relevant posts - I still have them from November 2010. I got three posts out of that American Robin episode. My favourite is the Dr Patchworker and Mr Twitch one, but there was also one about the blogger who nicked my pic and claimed it as his own!Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-2062589690265288472015-11-26T22:48:48.348+00:002015-11-26T22:48:48.348+00:00Still.

Is that the one you nicked off the internet or something? I remember an old blog post about it at the time...Colhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470840834870693132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-61247913070935303582015-11-26T22:26:04.372+00:002015-11-26T22:26:04.372+00:00Ah, telling the trusted few...

However, in my limited experience of this option it does not result in the happy outcome one might envisage. No, just an awful lot of bad feeling.<br />I really don't think there is a universal solution...Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-59821680665153350772015-11-26T19:58:11.860+00:002015-11-26T19:58:11.860+00:00Having seen that situation Gav with the AR.

I wouldn't blame you for telling only the trusted few (about a rarity).<br />Counter suppression may be the result, but at least you'll have the satisfaction of maintaining standards.Ricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-5160044027773197972015-11-26T17:12:31.573+00:002015-11-26T17:12:31.573+00:00Almost all the birders I know, I also like.

But even here, it's 'almost all' and 'most'. Sad, isn't it! I dislike generalising, but in this case cannot avoid it - collectively we really are our own worst enemy!Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824385241230348874.post-45860247097818531842015-11-26T08:50:37.468+00:002015-11-26T08:50:37.468+00:00The more I bird, Gav, the less I like birders... a...The more I bird, Gav, the less I like birders... and I am one! After 40 years plus in the field there is without doubt a larger, selfish element, lacking not just field craft but basic humanitarian skills. It's not suppression, just being sensible.Steve Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459545933323958452noreply@blogger.com
