This is a very simple rule, and it's going on right now. Right under our noses. Can you remember when you used to twitch Little Egrets ? I know I can. But now they're hardly worth a glance. Can you remember when Great White Egrets were rare. I know I can. But they're not any more. You spend oodles of money on petrol. You spend hours of your valuable time whizzing around the country. And you see a rare bird. And wouldn't you just know it .... A few weeks later it's not blasted rare any more ! Ouch. As you know, all "rules of birding" are named after places. It all comes from that " The Meaning of Liff" book. And I have gifted the birding world with such rules as " Far Rockaway".... 158-the-lesser-known-rules-of-birding-1-far-rockaway.html And more ... but at the minute I can't find the stupid things ! And now we have " S********N" .... it's fairly obvious why . ( My computer didn't "like" its full name. McAfee warned me about it ) ( I wonder if he's related to that MacGonagall person) "Sooner or later, all your rare birds will stop being rare ." Well, quite a lot of them anyway. I wonder if there's a "relevant" bit of music to go with this rather scatalogical theme ? Well, yes there rootin' tootin' is !
