Yeah, I know that type!Interestingly I found the pepperpots and twitchers more annoying than the other photographers, even the guy with the BIG Canon kit. I spent a couple of hours in one hide at Cley, during which a stream of people would burst into the hide, noisily set up their tripods and scopes, scan around, put away the scope and tripod and leave noisily. Meanwhile this other photographer and I had a quiet conversation about birds and cameras, chilling out and really enjoying a very relaxed time watching marsh harriers over the reeds.Oh, and:could this just as easily apply to you? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
