What about someone contacting the local paper with the story. I think the
surrounding community needs to know what is going on.
I'm sure Nevil Lazarus would be able to supply a suitable photo.

I was speaking theoretically.  I realise the owner got away but I was trying

to alert birders to the fact that these laws exist. Publicising them may 
help.  It seems to me that many birders are unaware of laws designe to 
protect wildlife especially those in relation to which species are listed as

threatened and penalties for their destruction.  As for BSC and urban 
environments there are some close to habitation on the central coast of NSW 
(including nesting in someone's yard) but elsewhere in NSW they are very 
scarce.
