My point was Mark, that we need to be conscious about our impact on the
environment considering we are bird watchers, mammalogists,
herpetologists, botanists etc etc.....
My other point was that it was a little sarcastic, tongue in cheek for
all those who dash off to see the Hoopoe, to ponder on their flights
:-)
As Denise sums up "We may have little impact even in our own
neighbourhood, but that doesn't mean we should stop trying"
Yours in all things "green"

G'day John, everyone
I'm not sure I buy into your comment. I can't work out if your intent
was
to be educational or to induce a sense of guilt to produce the effect
of
trying to coerce people into not going to see the bird.
Personally I doubt the amount of pollution/increase in carbon
footprint
that was produced from the arrival of this one bird would be
significant.
Or to look at it the other way, whether the abstaining of using
resources
that were going to be in use anyway would be measurably beneficial in
the
whole scheme of things.
Regards,
Mark
