Hi Tony

I'm a little intrigued by your response to this email and hope that you'll
share a little more information.

My only experiences are with mist netting bush birds and no injuries or
undue stress to the birds resulted (though a couple of Rainbow Lorrikeets
have done me damage once!). Indeed everything has always gone smoothly. Have
you experienced incidents of deaths or injuries with waterfowl using this
capture method? I know cannon netters who are very experienced and do well
with waders, never harming the birds, but they have many volunteers to
assist them.

Regards - Ricki
