Re: [Birding-Aus] Causing the death of tern chicks for photography.

"The moon is still waning, so to kill more time we go to a little sand cay
north of Crab. Here we find a nesting colony of Crested Terns with hundreds of
chicks. It all seems so idyllic, but we soon see a disaster looming. A dozen
whaler sharks circle the cay, and when the chicks choose to go for a swim, the
predators move in. I know I'm filming something never recorded before, but it
saddens me to witness such an easy slaughter."
So it seems that Ben Cropp himself was the photographer behind the camera and
the one keeping the chicks from returning to the shore. His commentary does not
seem sad and his behaviour is contrary to the code Glenn published.
