But if he had followed the basic bush safety rules, he would be alive
to report his sightings. No bird is worth your life.

This morning the SMH is reporting the fatality of a birder in northern
Western Australia. Apparently his vehicle became bogged & he died of
heat & or thirst.
Now the righteous outcries will begin about how he should not have
gone on his own, should have hired an EPIRB & satellite phone, should
have filed a trip plan, what a fool he was, etc.
But before that starts I would just like to say that from what I can
conjecture from the news so far, he took a risk for his passion, it
ended badly, but he died living.
I admire him & hope he found the grasswren.
