Indeed, it does seem somewhat harsh.
And of course, in spite of the fact that "The officer told the court all nine 
sea eagle nests on the island were monitored closely and that an egg had been 
laid at the nest in question in the previous 24 hours.",  the close monitoring, 
being officially sanctioned, could not possibly have been a contributor to the 
problem.



Regards, Clive.

Wow, um, I can acknowledge that he did the wrong thing, but does it seem
harsh to anyone else that they're suggesting the breeding failed because of
one incident?  Also, publishing not only his name but his home address in
the paper?  At least it might make people stop to read warning signs more
often...

Regards,
Chris
