"My own experience with aforesaid Milburn is not brilliant socially
but that does not devalue his experience as an observer so casually
dismissed."

What is this!!!!!!??????

Talk about damining by faint praise.

I have found Milburn not only utterly brilliant ornithologically, but
brilliant socially too, as anyone who has been with him on a
Wollongong Pelagic will attest.

And, as far as I am concerned the presence of Black-chinned
Honeyeaters at Campbell Park is certain.

Get a grip, people.

My own experience with aforesaid Milburn is not brilliant socially but that

Given that we are experiencing unusual weather patterns, should we not be
open to some changes from the "normal" patterns? After all we are only too
ready to use the drought as an explanation for some species unusual
occurrence in the ACT. Might not the break of same provide interesting
results too...

Capisce?
