Breeding the next generation of birders.
I have a few questions for the more experienced photograpers/digiscopers out there to do with the licence needed for photographing breeding birds:
1) Does it apply to all birds or only rare birds, i.e can I photograph blackbird on or near a nest with out one?
2) What birds are classed as schedule 1 (a site with a list would help)?
3) How do you get a licence?
I am asking not as I rally intend to disturb breeding birds but purely asI am interested in photograping Swallows and Martins, and I am rubbish at flying objects, so birds on or near a nest would be easiest, but I do not want to break any laws.
Thanks in advance. B
