It's become quite obvious over the last few years that several trolls
(http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll) are using free email
services such as HotMail and Yahoo!Mail under various pseudonyms to
send flamebait (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamebait) to the list.

I treat any email sent from one of these services as potential
flamebait; at the first sign that it's yet another troll, that
email address is added to my ignore list.


Back to birding, the last couple of nights I've been staking out
some Little Bitterns at Black Mountain Peninsula (ACT).  While
hearing them isn't a problem, seeing them is - is there a "trick"
to seeing Little Bitterns, or is it simply a matter of patience
and luck?
