Donald, the friendly acknowledgment of your passion for Australian parrots, and the PP in particular, was intended. Themisspelling of your surname was unintended and unforgivable. Phonetics took over my brain and precision and courtesywas the loser. The birder’s world! He gets the names of birds right and the names of people wrong. I was once the victimof a newspaper misspelling of my first name. A visually silent “g” made me the butt of many jokes. I hope that you get the opportunity to return to PP country in conditions like those currently prevailing.Mark Carter’s comments are most interesting. There is clearly an abundance of research still waiting in the Australian deserts.In my tour guiding as a volunteer at the London Wetland Centre, I tell visitors “never come here just once – the species, the colourand the mood of the reserve changes with every season”. The same is even truer of the Australian Desert, but the time scales vastly differentAngus Innes.
