Message: <blockquote data-quote="chowchilla" data-source="post: 1624022" data-attributes="member: 61100">The most fiercely competitive birders I have ever met are right here in FNQ!There are a number of bird guides here in Far North Qld competing for the tourist birding market and they need to be very competitive in order to survive in business. They are also under constant pressure to find target birds for their clientele. I don't envy them...Overall however, I find the Cairns birding community to be very friendly, open and helpful. I myself really like to help as much as I can to find birds for others, including for the many visiting BF members whom I've had the pleasure of meeting and showing around this wonderful corner of the world.</blockquote>
