I've been reflecting on this and realised that during my long involvement with NZ waterfowl and wetlands I've been privileged to meet many recognised, in fact quite world famous, waterfowl people - such as, Professor Janet Kear, Jeffery Harrison, Sir Peter Scott, Dr Baz Hughes, Sir William Gilbert, Mike Lubbock, Frank Todd, just to mention a few - and never once have I been asked what qualification I had to be involved in saving rare species.
A Google on these people will soon determine their status in the field
Janet Kear also wrote a flattering piece about my work in her book
"Man & Wildfowl"
Anyhow, thanks for making me think about this.
