Dear all

Here's my humble opinion, from across the ocean in Cape Town, South 
Africa, about reporting rare birds. 

If I think I've seen a vagrant bird, I report that there's a possible 
whatever it is on the South African bird net, give the most detailed 
description as possible of it, so that if people want to try and see 
it, they can. If it is the bird, at least they have an opportunity of 
seeing it, although they are taking a chance, and they may waste 
petrol money. I think that it is far better to take a chance, than 
to dip. 

Unfortunately, some people build up a reputation for themselves of 
dogmatically reporting dicy sightings. But I've learned that even 
these people sometimes report good birds, and I thank them for 
helping me to lengthen my lifelist (and at other times wasting my 
money). 

Chris
