Yes i find chopping the tree down the most helpful way to photograph
any bird. In fact i usually start a bushfire too so that it clears the
scrub and nicely flushes the birds.
But seriously, going back to the original concern;
I defy any birdwatcher to honestly say that they have NEVER caused any
bird to fly off from a perch/roost.
Every time we stumble into the bush trying for any sort of view of a
bird we are disturbing it and most often causing it to fly away from us.
And funnily enough, even after all these times, i have never seen one
drop dead of exhaustion :)
Cheers
Dave

Syd,
What about a well known photographer cutting off a tree within a
national park to get an at nest shot? As the gentleman concerned
denies doing so and I have not enough proof to withstand a libel
suit I'll not name him.
When shown the nest of a Spotted Catbird he said that it was no good
to him as the hides he had with him would not let him get high
enough. A week later the tree had been shortened by a metre and a
half, tied with wire to its stump and had branched trimmed.

Alan
