G'day all

Bustards have turned up in sw Victoria each of the last three years around
this time.  Up to 6 have been seen together.  I was thinking of writing an
article for the local paper to publicise the return of these magnificent
birds and to request sightings so that a more accurate picture of numbers
and movements can be built up.  What do people think - will this do more
harm than good?  I'd hate to think I'd alerted a potential bustard hunter
to their presence.  On the other hand there are well-publicised campaigns
for species such as Brolgas and Red-tailed Black- Cockatoos.

Your advice would be most welcome.

Cheers
