should get life
Or at least should be jailed during the breeding season. Six months from now (which will probably be only three) will have him out ready to start again next spring/summer.

Other than gassing him he should be made to walk round Fly Flatts all winter, that would put him off birds for life.
True Brian, after that he'll have forgotten what they look like.
Perhaps the suggestion on Nicks link to awbirder.blogspot - "Watch out for this guy on your local patch - and then phone the police, or maybe some other birders..." might have a more lasting result!
Agreed Bruce, I would like to think he would receive a foot assisted enema should he show up around here.
Pretty sure he'll be looking at replacing his confiscated clutches after such a short stint inside.........not the sort of result you want the punishment to encourage.
