I had this problem at Leighton Moss [Eric Morecombe hide] there had been an influx of Egrets last year.. a pair of old guys sat in prime position who must have been there for ages they had seen everything and decided to have a loud conversation on where they came from, what ailments they had etc. Even though the hide was full no one said anything [including me] as they probably didn't want to insult the pair of them. In the end I walked out banging the door [know I shouldn't but at least it may have shut them up] When I mentioned this to DR Manjeet Singh, he said his way of dealing with it would have been to stand near them, fart and then quickly walk out !</blockquote>
