This is an outrage! Rather than fund people to go twitching, BA should
capture vagrants and release them in Botanic Gardens in capital cities.

Rare vagrants could then "tour", allowing more than just the idle rich to
twitch them.

Hi all,

As I sit in cold, but sunny, Melbourne Joy Tansey has just called to say
she saw the Crake today and is now off to feed the Gull.

I have decided I agree with Lorne on this matter regarding funding for
those of us who can't get there and I have a solution.

Now, all you all need to do to raise the necessary funds is for each of
you to send me $2. If every one on the list does this I will put the
money on Tattslotto and when I win I will split the money with all of
you. Reeally I will, I prooomise! You don't even need to give me your
bank account details or send anything to Kenya, I am totally trustworthy
(smile).

Regards from twitchless in Melbourne

Jen
