Its seems to me that on a site like birding-aus there would now be very many
birders who photograph birds, and in my opinion barbs at bird photographers as
a group achieves very little. As in all things in life there will be isolated
incidents of concern which we should all learn from, but personally i think
that the contribution of photographers ( whether am or pro) over recent years
has been generally nothing short of amazing, and has presented wonderful images
and information on birds and highlighted birds and birding in ways we could not
have imagined just a few years ago.
