Yes
indeed curious. If some people
don't like walking into a darkened hide, the easy answer is don't go in
them. Then again there is the story told by a former COG President of finding a
copulating pair of humans using one of these darkened hides as an interesting
venue.

I think that's
an extraordinary propostion. The only 'open' hide I can think of is Abattoir
Swamp at Julatten, notorious for its lack of birds and a joke locally. With
respect I think that birders who are nervous of hides need not use them; should
we move them away from the water for those who fear water?
Perhaps a
direct approach needs to made to the generally sensible Board responsible.

I was talking to the new ranger Michael earlier this week. One
concern I have is that he is talking about taking the screening panels out of
the hides, because some people don't like walking into a darkened hide. These
panels play a very important role in ensuring birds aren't scared by the
movement of people who have been silhouetted against the light from the back
entrance. I would have assumed that was more important.
