No worries about using my post, glad to be of help :-)

The Emergency Guide: How Not to Disturb Seals This is an educated guess at some pressing issues for people visiting Donna Nook this weekend. I am by no means an expert on seals, but I feel I have a decent understanding of animal behaviour and knowing wrong from right regarding our behaviour...

Hello all, WOW, when I first started comenting on TP about this topic I was angry and annoyed. I wanted everyone to know and I tried my best to make sure that that happened. After the thread was running for a while it became clear that I had gone about it the wrong way. Peter done well to...

If you read further back in the thread the RAF subject was prevously brought up and points out the reasons why the bombing etc is less of a problem. As for flash, the Pro Photographer said he uses up to 5 flashes, I think this was the point being made and seems excessive! I also feel he...

It is not directly aimed at the TP photographers, not by a long way. It is aimed at everyone on the beach this weekend. I has got a bit out of hand as people have started to take offense. I apologize for this. Nice people, I am sure they are, the TP I spoke to were. Conduct ON THE BEACH not...

Im trying give me a little more time

It is the difference between invading personal space and hearing a noise and seeing an 'aerial threat'. My point: Any animal can habituate to a sound or an object. If it occurs often enough, for example 5 days out of seven. A jet or large helicopter flying over the colony and causing no...

Rant noted and fair point.

Please see amended post, appols.
