Hmmm, Yes, I suppose that car drivers would find the challenge a bit
hazardous because they need to make sure they avoid distracted
cyclists travelling at an average of 30 clicks while tending to
drift...
I take that is a comment on your own birdwatching skills / riding
ability.
The main challenge with commuter counting is to remember what you have
observed along the way and whether there is something new for the list.
The process of identifying most birds takes half a second, and
requires less attention than the stereos, carphones and road signs
regularly distracting car drivers.
Anyhow, I've managed to add another couple of birds to the list - a
blue-faced honeyeater poking about in a palm [as they are wont to do]
yesterday and a pied currawong heard while easing around an old
gentleman walking a dog on a back path this afternoon.
Regards, Laurie.
