Not quite the same as the thread starters premise which is what to do when you arent sure of what you have on your hands.Labelling someone a stringer is essentially calling someone a liar. (though many would never have the balls to actually use that word....probably why the term string exists)Those who assign such labels attempt to then trap people with the moral blackmail of " supression is wrong". Supression is effective! Nothing annoys birders so much as missing out on a good bird. Nothing causes supression so much as throwing ignorant "string" opinions about the place. One begets the other. Without fail.Owen</blockquote>
