I thoroughly enjoy going out birding.

Not only does it get me out looking at all of those wonderful birds we have here in Australia, it also gets me out there in the fresh air and gives me much needed exercise. Generally birding is a relaxing occupation.

Well – at least I thought it was a relaxing, safe and non-contact sport.

Until.

Until I read this newpaper article about a Dutch birder visiting India:

Elephant tramples Dutch Birder: The Telegraph, Kulkata, India.

Birders beware.
