Too true.

In researching my PhD topic I found that some American birders blame
photographers for such behaviour, while photographers blame hard core birders. In my 28 years as a guide I’ve seen both behave badly.

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.

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.
