You should have done some research instead of just relying on what you 
"heard".

No, Angus, there were 80 pairs there in 2006, which considering the 
first pair only bred in 2002 is a terrific result.

I am delighted to be able to give you some actual facts in place of your 
over-reliance on "I've heard" and "from what I can see", when you 
unquestioningly accepted figures which suited your agenda but which 
happened to be very far from the truth.

I hope you will join in congratulating the conservationists who have 
achieved this amazingly successful outcome.
