"Personal data"
If someone turns up in public to see a rare bird, how can taking note of that be personal data? If they turn up many times to rare birds, how can noting that be personal data? The accrued list might only be "personal data" by way of the commoner species that the individual has not been sighted at! It is possible to work out the (inferred) lists of top twitchers without them contributing to that process. I fail to see how the DPA is relevant here though it has to be said I won't be going through the Act line by line to see if my views accord with it!
cheers, alan.
