If it weren't for Mr Gale and ...Seth; old chap!<br />If it weren't for Mr Gale and your good self, I'd seriously wonder if anyone out there read my random musings. Comments on my blogging are rarer than pike anglers on the Royal Military Canal (Apart from my son, and his mates, I've never met another one in two years!).<br />So fret not about clogging up my comments box - opinions are always welcome<br /><br />All the best - DylDylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-37334811181424911792014-03-21T20:18:45.732+00:002014-03-21T20:18:45.732+00:00Nice blogging!
Regards pan-listing, we (I say &q...Nice blogging! <br /><br />Regards pan-listing, we (I say "we" as though I'm somehow a mover and a shaker in the PSL world - which I'm really not!) hope to spread the word that there's much more out there than immediately meets the eye and that much of it is within the bounds of identification should you choose to delve a little. As you so brilliantly put it - a superb vehicle for avoiding boredom whilst enjoying our outdoor experiences (and it really is too!) So that's one aspect of the whole pan-listing mallarkey. As an aside, if you make a note of what you find then, by definition, you have a species list. If you choose to, you can compare with other lists. But that's not really the aim of the game, appealing though it may be for some of us. <br /><br />The second point "we" are trying to make is a simple but important one. If you've found something and subsequently made the effort to identify it to species level, let someone know about it. Not the fella at work or your mate down the pub - but the relevent recorder. Make that record worth so much more than just an extra point on your tally. This, I think, is where pan-listing will gain credibility over the likes of rare bird twitching which is more to do with numbers than skill (for many, but certainly not all). I should point out that I'm a twitcher, though far less rabid than I used to be. It really is about the numbers now, possibly inevitably so. <br /><br />One day I'll stop clogging up your Comments Box with pan-species listing waffle! Sorry 'bout that old bean! <br /><br />Cheers mate, <br /><br />Seth. Gibsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699055561230102061noreply@blogger.com
