David,

That was a bit harsh. My comments were referring only
to the disgruntled landholder in question, not to
everybody outside of Sydney's eastern suburbs. Usually
I find people to be interested in the wildlife on
their land and curious that people should be
interested enough to travel some distance to observe
it. In this case, however, it was the opposite. I'm
sorry you missed the intended humour in the posting.

Best,

AS
