Sorry, there was nothing cynical about it. I was merely pointing out (obviously too briefly) that their principles are subsidary to the fact that they would almost certainly be breaking the law.
Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 prohibits the intentional disturbance of nesting birds and although there is the potential for a "sorry guv, didn't know they were there" defence there are many other guidlines reinforcing the Act and so that does not wash nowadays.
Any professional (who may have not done it anyway because of his principles) would be aware of the law. Law takes precedence over principles (and applies to amateurs as much as professionals).
Sorry for my brevity.
All the best

How dare you make that sweeping statement. How dare you say that what I have said is not true. What right do you have to say that about people you do not know.Perhaps you would like to rephrase your post AND apologise to me for infering that my words were untrue. ........POSIE.. |
