When you visit a "Nature reserve",i.e for the sole purpose of actually watching Birds, do you often feel like you dont belong there somehow,especially on weekends,or Bank hols?
Often all i see is a car park full of people who look like they really ought to be just at the beach.I mean,does the RSPB really believe that a car full of chavs gives a damn that perhaps a Spotted Flycatcher has been seen today?I think not.Will they have heard of one,or even know why its good that one has even been seen?
When you see the kind of absolute brain dead moronic behaviour,like sitting in cars window down,music blaring,(on a "Nature reserve"?),dumping rubbish,dogs off leads running wild,(i think there ought to be a strict absolutely NO DOGS policy at reserves)that ive seen,i think the RSPB ought to change tack now,and actively DISSUADE the general non-birding public from its reserves.Yes,leave us fee paying,knowledgable,quiet Birders,to our reserves,and the morons and chavs can go to the beach,or shopping mall,where they can strut around in their shorts and track suits,or run their ugly mutts to their hearts content.
It angers me when the RSPB is always on about how wildlife is vanishing,yet the amount of moronic disturbance it encourages,i feel must be partly responsible for this.
Bring back good old fashioned 1950s style Birding,when it wasnt on the telly,and you actually had to try to LEARN your fieldcraft.
