This strange occurence had nothing to do with hunting or hunters; it was just one of those odd rural misunderstandings that you somewhat get accustomed to after years of living in the country. Firearms are simply a fact of life here; more people have them than don’t. It’s good to know I can return to one of my favorite bird watching spots without fear of needing to watch my back. However I do think that when I go there in the future that I will wear a hunter orange hat - just in case. Peace and good bird watching.

The publishers have absolutely no control over this and are entirely bleless; they are entirely at the mercy of the postal service in their own country as well as the postal service in the country of delivery. If either of those countries’ postal services is experiencing a job action, as has been the case in Britain recently with the Royal Mail, the challenge is somewhat magnified.
