The depth some twichers will go to tick Night Parrots

They certainly walk amongst us, I have on several occasions had run in with them especially when sitting quietly waiting with the camera for a good shot and they walk in front of you and ask in a loud voice, “What is it” I remember sitting quietly on the water hole at Mungerannie Pub up the Birdsville Track one evening with a group of International Birdies and we heard what sounded like rifle shots and all the birds took off flying never to be seen again and this guy appeared cracking a whip, when asked what did he think he was doing he replied “It is easier to see them when they are flying. ” Hello any one home” Did he learn his pedigree very quickly. Fortunately these are few and far between and what John has described is a hanging offence. “Better to sit and watch than to tick and walk” Barney
