All right, after the appearance of Martin's fluoropink stake, who's
responsible for the little stakes marked '1' and '2' bang in the middle of
the secret crake spot? I infer that they have not been erected by a
birdperson because I know it's not Frank, who's moved to New Zealand, and
anyway such a person would a) have taken the opportunity, while penetrating
the crake sanctuary, to remove some of the growth that already obstructs a
clear view of both stakes and crakes from Casuarina Rise, b) have chosen
better labels, perhaps a continuation of Harvey's hide avianom series, maybe
'Duck' and 'Egretta', c) have told others what masterplan for enhanced crake
observation was on foot. I infer therefore, pending better information,
that the markers are associated with the tadpole collection program of the
Junior Swampeteers based at the nearby Birigai educational facility.
