Photographers, and some birdwatchers, have made life unbearable for the vast majority of birders. I haven't visited a hide where I know a camera is positioned for years simply because so called photographers think they own any hide they are sitting in. Why can't they turn their 8fps drives off and have some consideration for others? Cheap plastic credit has made digital cameras and long lenses easily affordable but I know full well that the vast majority of this equipment will end up in the for sale columns once the novelty has worn off. Until then we will have to endure the hard times and look forward to the next set of fools to 'grace' our free time we work so hard for.John.</blockquote>
