Thanks Chris,



I was wondering how to tackle this inevitable debate. It's not a military
area but access to the site is for surveys only at this stage & carry strict
regulations. No viewing areas from public roads exist. As one who has gained
the trust of the folk who run it, I am not willing to compromise this. At
this stage no access will be allowed during the working week. If there is
the possibility of getting in later, I will let everyone know when & if I
get the go ahead. I don't get pleasure from gripping off others & would love
everyone who wants to see this bird have a chance at it. It is a wader tho &
at this time of year anything could happen.



Apologies for the anguish this might cause. I know how I'd feel if it were a
Nordmann's Greenshank!  I did think twice about reporting it for this reason
but suppressing it wouldn't have been looked kindly upon either.



Cheers,



Chris.

Alex,

My guess is that Chris has been granted permission to access a sensitive
area (military perhaps?) that no one else is likely to be granted access to
for any reason.  Knowing where the bird is would only tempt people to break
in so why give them that temptation?

Regards,
Chris

Hi all,



This morning had a Buff-breasted Sandpiper in Bundaberg (SEQld) for 2.5
hrs with Nev Capell whilst doing a regular count. It was eventually put
off by a sea-eagle & has not been seen since. Unfortunately the area has
restricted access & the bird will not be twitchable so please don't ask
me for specific site details.



Chris
