I hope the off-duty policeman showed you his own ID before making his
demands!

Well, I showed him my Field Guide, but he insisted I show him the photos in
my camera. Apparently someone had seen me with camera & binoculars, & had
phoned him. I was in that street partly to follow the evening progress of
seasonally local GBCs-- but when I cried out, 'Look, there goes one now, a
rare bird!' he didn't turn a hair. We were in a dead end ('Because it's good
for birds!' I said to him) but apparently that made me even more offensive.

I'd like to know how you'd prove you're a birdwatcher. I can think of no
supporting evidence, apart from being able to bore the policeman about
birds, but any well prepared spy/mugger/peeping tom could have that as a
cover story.

all the surrounding houses & inform them I am a birdwatcher.
