I think more than showing anything about Melbourne, this shows the
rather low level of intelligence required to be a security officer.

Hi all,
I don't know about the Song Thrush in Melbourne, but I do know you need
to be careful where you go bird-watching there.  I had an hour to spend
in transit the other day at Melbourne ariport, on my way back to
beautiful Tassie.  Having heard of Purple-crowned Lorikeets at Melbourne
airport, I went roaming just outside the terminal building with
binoculars in tow (only found Muskies), but was very quickly confronted
by Security, wanting to know if there was a reason I was taking photos
outside the Terminal.  It took a bit of explaining that they were bins.,
not a camera, and I was just birdwatching, not a terrorist!
