My letter reads as follows:
I am responding to Adrian Halliday's excellent and very timely letter regarding certain elements of the twitching fraternity who feel that 'Covid Lock Down' rules do not apply to them.
The vast majority of birders adapted their birding during lock-down to Garden birding and watching the sky from their gardens for migrants, and this produced interesting results.
However, those twitchers who disregard the simple rules of lock-down in pursuit of a tick, clearly lack the respect for others in the community and are putting people and potentially the emergency services and NHS at risk.
As a response to the disregard towards others and lack of respect for important rules laid down during lock-down, those twitchers who breached those requirements should be banned from public events in future and not given any form of media publicity.
It would be interesting to hear from those twitchers who could not comply with lock-down rules for their side of the story?
