Hell hath no fury like a twitcher denied a tick. Looks like your name
is one to keep out of the loop in future.

Hi,
So correct me if I’m wrong, it’s a private property… (Like many where
other twtichable rarities show up) and you just don’t want to bother
the owner….
Ok, I just not sure that you don’t get pleasure from gripping off
others… If you didn’t you would get out of you comfort zone and help
the community.
If you don’t want us to see it, next time there is no need to report
to everyone in the list with pictures, etc… only the rarities
committee should know.
I usually a very friendly guy, but lifers are hard to come by this
days, and when a duffer it’s showing off that he saw the third or
fourth record of a BBS in Australia, posting pictures and a note: “by
the way folks, I’m the only one allowed to see it, please don’t ask me
where I saw it”. It’s kind of upsetting.
Regards,
Alex

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 Cap ell 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
Ps I have got pictures but contact me if interested rather than send to
the B-Aus list please.
