I too would be encouraging everyone to see the successful breeding of any species as more important than the obtaining of a good view and/or good photo.

Am I the only person who is surprised that COG members are going quite close to a

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.
