can hardly believe it

["Greg & Val Clancy" <>]

I plan to have a whole chapter entitled 'the boys and girls in blue' in my 
future book if ever I get the time to write it!!  It includes references to 
mist nets (used for bird banding), 'van burning' no 'bird banding' and an 
incident when a rather officious fisheries officer thought that all of his 
Christmases had come at once.  We were bird banding with mist nest in an 
estuary and he thought that we were illegal fishers.  He regretted his 
actions after a long drawn out lecture on birds and bird banding!!
