Both the natural environment and lack of protection by the authorities unfortunately lend themselves to this situation.I would advocate the fencing off certain areas including the Kruppers site and regular Stone Curlew breeding areas.Sadly for some, no distance from the subject is near enough and no lense big enough,even in the UK. In March, at Salthouse, we witnessed a photographer lying on the ground, three feet away from a snow bunting, sure the bird did not appear distressed, but is it necessary?Anyway on the subject of photographs I turned up a couple of ringed birds when sorting through my own.I thought that I'd post them in case they are of any interest.</blockquote>
