To all contributors,
Having been off-air for a few days due to a crashed
computer I have missed the discussion concerning the reporting of birds on the
chat-line.
It is of the view of both myself as President and
of the Manager of the Discussion list (chat-line) that the list is just that- a
chat-line. As such all contributors are welcome to express their
views and their observations. It is important that contributors use the
'message line' in an appropriate way so that those who do not want to know
further about a particular subject are in a position to skip the particular
message.
The chat-line has been set up to be used by both
the experienced bird observer and the not so experienced so that we can all
learn from the views, experiences and observations of others. It
should be remembered though that your interesting observations cannot be
used in the future unless they are entered onto the COG
database.
