I know this from experience of my early days birding and from others..
All birders know that to get a sighting accepted (of a rarity) then a detailed description is required. So we learn to take notes on the spot and hope it gets accepted.
As to the wind up there have been a few threads of late that have inclined to that so suspicion sets in.
Whatever was seen it is an experience to learn by.

Good points paul, it's a shame it came to this.
But lets all move on and enjoy the forum
