Leading a life of quiet desperation
Hi Calum,
really no need for any apologies, I was just interested to hear whether or not images from these guys were being posted online. It seems they prefer to have them on their own personal facebook / twitter pages.
I'm really pleased with the galleries on Birding Lothian, I would hate for them to be spoiled with pictures which have a negative reaction from those viewing them. The disturbance of birds for images, particularly at this time of the year, is a huge negative. If there are concerns from anyone viewing images, perhaps from someone who has witnessed the 'photographer' behaving in a way which is concerning, please bring it to someones attention. If this happens to be on Birding Lothian an e-mail to [email protected] would be appreciated.
Hope your holiday was an enjoyable one Calum, despite the near punch-up! People say birdwatching isn't exactly a magnet for fanny, although we seem to bump into them all the time
On a much happier note! Some nice birds to see down the coast today, and apparently lots of common migrants. Would liked to have been out today. http://www.birdinglothian.co.uk/#/recent-sightings/4537581602

You do a great, often unappreciated job, Kris, in keeping up what is a really good website.
Have to admit your 'People say birdwatching,..' sentence had me going for a minute
After 2 good days down the coast I decided not to bother today after spending a freezing fruitless very early visit to M'burgh in the company of Dave. Looks like I was too early...
Still whilst wrestling with the garden this pm had 20 siskins on the feeders and a first ever willow warbler singing in the garden
Interesting how the order that migrants are appearing is a bit topsy turvy
