Thankyou to David, Philip and Greg for their
replies to my rather amateur question about Golden Whistler juvenile plumage. I
was slack in referring to 'juvenile' plumage when I should have referred to
'immature' or 'first year' plumage. I will strive to be more accurate in
future questions.
While the list does have it's fair share of
pedants, I was heartened by the very positive, encouraging and
helpful replies I received from the abovementioned folk and the TOTAL lack
of criticism I received from the so-called 'picky lot' at Birding-Aus. I think
you're all great and that this is a fantastic knowledge base and an entertaining
read. Forgive my tentative and somewhat ignorant dips into your minds but I'm a
big believer in education and passing on knowledge and consider you to be my
teachers.Who is better placed to educate a budding birder?
Let me take a minute to check my
punctuation.?;:.... ;-)
I will learn the rules only by playing.
Cheers to you all,
