Is this a beat up?
49999 Curlew Sandpipers banded in Australia are
missing and one survived. Bloody marvelous. Not really
surprising that it went somewhere else after the
Cannon net. Could hardly blame it if it never comes
back.
An activity now offered to eco tourists at Broome is
to assist catching and banding waders. What a
wonderful addition to a backpackers itinerary.
So now a financial incentive to exploit these birds.
The imperatives of low impact Eco tourism! Is the high
mortality caused by banding explained to non birders?
