the larger male LBI raised his crest and responded with a rude and dismissive "shut up" and
"piss off". Not happy Jan!!



I find that this attitude is typical of many dog owners, in fact I have have received far worse responses than the 'mild' response that you received. I have also been concerned, on rare occasions, for my safety. On one occasion last year I even called off a search for a Noisy Pitta in Sydney because of one such concern; and that's pretty serious!!

Hi all

I dropped into Lake Francis (Cronulla) today just to see what may be wading,
dipping and dabbling about there at this time of the year. Predictably, it
was pretty quite except for :

30+ Pacific Black Ducks
20+ Chestnut Teals
1 Australian Pelican
2 Australian White Ibis
1 Silver Gull
3 Black-winged Stilts
2 Lesser-brained Ignoramus
1 Unleashed German Shepherd
