Hi Alistair, quite a lot some days. I found this to my horror when I first
ventured on to f/b some months ago. The f/b birding sites cover a range of
specific geographic areas and interest groups but very little to do with
conservation topics. It seems to me it is used extensively by photographic
twitchers. Have a quick squizz to see if it meets your taste.

Like Kim, I am not a Facebook user. So for those of us that don’t use that form
of social media, what is being posted to Facebook (and not B-A) that I am
missing?
Regards
Alastair

Hi Folks
I. I am not a facebook user and I find this list immensely helpful and
informative. Whenever I have need advise I have got it, and its been informed
and detailed. I am very grateful to Russell and any others who have kept it in
being.
2. Obviously, there have been the odd thread (perhaps even this one) that have
gone on beyond their best-before date. But the subject line usually gives those
away, and one can just delete them.
3. Equally obviously, there are a few "trigger issues" (bird banding + a couple
of others) which arose passions and hence traffic with an unfavourable signal
to noise ratio. I am astounded that (eg) posting trip reports has generating
flaming responses, and am very sorry to learn that.
Nothing remotely like that has even happened to me (even when I defended my cat
ownership - a potential trigger issue). Some disagreement sure, but nothing at
all lacking in respect.
So armed with my trusty delete button, I say "long live birding-aus", and
thanks for the advice, expertise and good will I have experienced (and the
blogs with the fantastic photos: keep posting those links), and I'll just edit
into electronic oblivion anything else.
Kim
