Can I suggest you ascertain the full situation before making such comments?
If you were in my position, wouldn't you try and get closer? The birds were in full control of the situation, i.e. they can fly away whenever they like! I was on a public footpath that dozens of other photographers and general public use every day. Most of the public couldn't give a dam about the birds and would have simply continued on until they flew away. My "trying to get too close" was in the context of photography, I never stood a chance to get nearer than 80 yards or so. I could have understood your comments more if the images were close ups, but you can clearly see I've had to stretch every bit of resolution to get anything like a decent image.
I can take it then that you've never had the situation where you've seen a bird in the distance, taken a few pictures, then moved slowly forward to try and get a better picture, the bird flies away and the moments gone. Of course you have, we all have or we wouldn't have any images to put on the web site.
I shall have to be very careful and factually accurate with my descriptions in future. I was simply trying to get over in print the excitement of the moment.
For some reason you think me capable of charging forward without a care for the birds scaring them away, something I would never do.
