    BADGE OF PRIDE

    A line from your last Snapshot article (AG 156) reminded me of being a boy in Sydney in the 1950s. At school we were all encouraged to become members of the NSW Gould League of Bird Lovers, have respect for all bird species and wear our badge with pride.

    A journey to Bruny Island two years ago reminded me how wonderful birdsong is when you create an environment with no foxes and feral cats. Bird life abounds.
