ArchieHood 3,692 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Nice pics mate, Not trying to put a dampener on your post but do you need a license to take photos near a nest site? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxdropper 17,092 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Nice pics mate, Not trying to put a dampener on your post but do you need a license to take photos near a nest site? Someone will no doubt know but i think there are no laws concerning photography within the realms of non invasive. Nice pics mate ,bet you wont see the young fledge as they are out and gone in seconds .One minute the adults are to and fro ,the next you hear whistles down stream from the scattered brood.
