Dear all,

My look at events following the recent irruption of the rare and exceedingly beautiful Princess Parrot on Aboriginal land west of Alice Springs in central Australia and the conduct of (some) birdwatchers and twitchers that may change some entrenched attitudes on the fringes of Australia's birding (and twitching) community.

See my articles at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's The Drum website here: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/42384.html


Cheers thanks and I welcome your comments and thoughts on this subject.
