Invasion of Indian crows sparks alert

[Ian May <>]

g'Day Simon

Please don't be too concerned.  Try to think of it this way.   If 
everybody applied the precautionary principle, many of us might not be 
here to enjoy a new tick.  I think you understand what I mean; that its 
not really the responsibility of twitchers to destroy house crows in 
playgrounds.  It would definitely be a bad look roaming playgrounds with 
shotguns, binoculars and cameras.
