| Photos of nesting birds
I understand that there is a moritorium on posting pictures of nesting birds. Does this apply across the board, please? I understand and agree with the need not to disturb nesting birds; in particular the rarer ones. At the weekend, I saw a pair of great crested grebes close to what seemed to be a nest way out in the middle of a lake. Today, I found a fishermen's path that lead around that lake and also to others. On the edge of each lake were a number of fishermen's swims from where anglers fish. From one of these, I was able to get a much better view of the grebes and their nest. They were at least 50 yards away in the middle of the lake, and are presumably accustomed to anglers. There was no way that I could disturb the grebes from where I was. What would be view on pics of such a nest?
