The debate rages on regarding birders versus photographers and it is not confined to Hong Kong I can assure you. Peehaps over time more people will come to realize that the welfare of the bird comes first and their perfect picture is not the most important thing in the world. I am glad that your father got his lifer!David M. Gascoigne,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17229638811027153569noreply@blogger.com
