Agree Denis - a quick visit by a single person can be OK but a group is not good. Worst of all is spending time at a nest or a succession of people as, apart
from deserting, the adults will not approach with humans in the vicinity.

Am I the only person who is surprised that COG members are going quite close to a
Wedgie nest, especially one with a chick close to fledging?
It used be said that Wedgies were very susceptible to deserting a nest if disturbed.
Maybe this chick or the parents are past the point of being disturbed?
I don't know, but I feel compelled to raise the question.
