Dress Code on Reserves

[BloomingMarvellous]

I wonder if folk who wear Camouflage clothing whilst out and about Birding, ever think how other people perceive them. It would make me feel really uneasy if I came across a lonesome man in full Camouflage, I'd be thinking, Nature Lover or Stalker.

LOL
I really hope we never have to give that much consideration before we dress to go wildlife spotting

(Personally, I find perverts always wear bright red waterproofs anyway )

What is the collective's view of carrying one's sarnies around a reserve in a green and red M&S Christmas carrier bag then?

There not as bad as those people that lie down on the path so people trip over them and scaring horses with their macro flashes!

Camouflage gear makes me extremely uneasy too. But that's because it reminds me of trained killers (or posers as such), not stalkers.

And it's clearly not doing much of a job... if we can spot them I'm pretty sure the birds can too, and are probably also having a chortle

Ah yes but how do you know you haven't passed any that were so well camouflaged that you didn't see them
