At risk of upsetting the hard-core twitchers, I must express the view that
"potentially serious direct consequences for birding and birders both in
Australia and visiting from overseas", of the woodhens' temporary removal
from the wild, should be a lower-order issue against the conservation
benefits to the woodhens's survival. Fair enough, birders should be let know
if & when it's happening, but upsetting their travel plans shouldn't be a
reason not to proceed. The greater goal of the birds' survival would take
precedence.

In my opinion... :-)
