just to say i largely agree with your approach and your advice jeff (I am , or was, a schedule one licencee too , stone curlew) - and i'd have no truck with making you out to be a bad guy as i know you definitely arent.

I wouldnt go as far as your rspb contact in discouraging all casual interest in class one species tho - because if people arent allowed to be interested , shortly they wont care about them, then there'll be no public suppport when we need to defend them or their habitat.

what i would say to folk like nicki - is if you want to photograph k/fisheer without a licence , go somewhere where this is possible without any possiblity of disturbance - such as the hide at rye meads. then i am sure that the knowledgeable folk on here such as jeff will be only too happy to help you with info on their habits.
