Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit ampheta
Surprisingly, I can't find a thread on this forum about using playback, I'm sure someone will direct me to it if there is one...
I just wondered what people's thoughts were on the use of playback to obtain photos. I know some people consider it unacceptable under any circumstances, but plenty of people are going to do it anyway, so I thought that if some experiences and words of wisdom could be shared here, it might be possible to educate people in how to use it more effectively (including myself). I'm particularly interested to get some thoughts on which species it works best with.
Personally I don't have a major problem with it so long as it's not used excessively and the species is relatively common but I don't dispute it can cause disturbance if used inappropriately.
Comments please (there should be a few!)
