"Both nests had been the focus of attention of
photographers, as visible from the trampling of vegetation"

Do you know something that was not in the text Carl?

It seems it is just not journalists that put 1 & 1 together to make 3
;-).

However chances are we will marvel at some wonderful close-up footage by David Attenborough  & his professional mates on a Sunday night in the future.
"How do they get those shots?"
All the while  maintaining the divisions; Twitcher good, Professional photographer good, Amateur photographer bad..

Another case of bird photographers behaving badly.

AB The Hen Harrier is a rare breeding bird in The Netherlands, nearing
its extinction rapidly. Only 19 pairs were recorded in 2009, of which
17 on the Wadden Sea Islands; this is just 15% of the numbers
registered in 1994. On the island of Terschelling, two nests were
disturbed in 2009. Both nests had been the focus of attention of
photographers, as visible from the trampling of vegetation and the
creation of clearly visible paths to the nest. One of these nests is
supposed to have been raided for commercial purposes (chicks
removed),
at the other nest one of the chicks was found nearby, deliberately
trampled to death. Both nests may have been easier to find by people
with bad intentions because of the behaviour of photographers. Codes
of conduct for photographers are now available from several
organisations, and disturbances are therefore unnecessary.
