The discussion triggered by perceived misbehavior by bird photographers has exhausted itself. Time to call a halt. If someone wishes to pursue the broader question of birding ethics in a civil, non-confrontational manner, without targeting specific examples, then fine. But for that we need a time out of at least one month, and a clean start. The present thread is now cut.
