Re: Responsibility in Wildlife Photography - a plea (long post)

I survey for water voles in the Derbyshire Dales and I am so careful not to damage habitat or disturb any wildlife. However by the canal we also have loads of little grebes and they have had a good breeding year. I was shocked to see how much vegetation had been damaged so that the photographers could get as close to the canal edge as possible. Three areas of vegetation on the canal bank were fragmented for weeks and it really annoys me. I am afraid if I see it I just have to say something - politely of course
