I'd be interested to know of evidence that wearing 'brightly coloured' clothing has any effect on birds (or other animals), especially when worn in hides. I suspect (but have done no serious research) that movement and noise are more important. Maybe you're right that the activity of some people upsets the animals but I suspect that would happen whatever they were wearing.
PS: I am not of the bright colour tendency ....

It is unfair on the field birder that we have to suffer these bright coloured people that just like hunters in winter disturb the birds and cause them to fly away when they should be feeding.
I am a landowner and will ask anyone visiting my pits to wear subdued clothing before fishing or birding. |
