Subject: Cannon Netting
Sorry
Kym,
The
following comment from you is nonsense, even though well intentioned. I
have never been involved in cannon netting. Sure, less intrusive field
studies are very valuable. I participated in wader surveys for many years.
On current resources, information available from banding large numbers
of birds (and cannon netting is just a method) contributes vastly more
than I and hordes of other bird watchers or any of those methods you mention
(which also have their problems) ever could achieve. All the results go
towards the birds' welfare.

have obtained sufficient knowledge now to allow the phasing out of this
process in favor of more passive field observing techniques to further
expand the information base. With the use of advanced technology
in video, photography, optics, infrared, night vision, radar, sound recording
and other techniques combined with mobility options that were never previously
feasible, we should be able to obtain results which are adequate for most
study purposes.
