    Hi-

    astute cynical observers might wonder if  due to the imminent publication of  ID Birds the Seymouraves  way  ( available at the Bird Fair - not RSPB recommended )    it has been deemed unnecessary.

    Also the new RSPB  family friendly approach at Reserves negates the need to be competitive and knowledgeable in the ID arena. Birds are part of the wider eco universe and specific naming of species might get away from the holistic fluffy scenario ***  and encourage Birding-  Twitching was bad enough but is sporadic at most reserves;  Birding ability creates a hierarchy and a sense of inferiority which isn't a corporate nicety.

    Watch out volunteers- you could be next!

    ***  You should meet the clean cut customer inter-action welcoming teams in RSPB car parks this summer. Easy to spot them- they are the only ones without binoculars :)

    Rodney,

      on the Community home page, click on the WILDLIFE tab on the blue banner going across the page, then click on the Forums tab and you will find it in there. As a shortcut you can just make a shortcut/favourite of any id this post, click on it and then do a new post once that opens.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for stepping in Bob. As a note I have passed the search facility and navigation issues on so they will hopefully get looked at by those working on the site development.
