camouflage

Walking about I was struck how many people walk along main roads dressed from head to foot in dark clothing not a patch of light clothing to be seen.
I was always told that the human eye is drawn to highlights,someone wearing discreet or camouflage clothing with bare hands or face are wasting their time, a lot of birds (wood pigeon for one can see the white neck flashes of another pigeon from a mile away)are also attracted to highlights and movement.
So if you are walking and the light is going wear or carry something light , wear a reflective bandolier or similar be safe be seen
People who are out stalking the local wildlife, wear gloves and a hat to cut down the hightlights.
