 BirdForum - Countryfile - Photo Competition. Ethical Photo?
I've emailed Countryfile with my comments, I suggest that others do the same if they are unhappy with this being published.
Photographing those little dormice is akin to being to close to nesting birds.Nothing is sacred from unscrupulous people.But when I was watching Countryfile yesterday,and there were glimpses of the photos,I am sure I recognised a few.The Robin on a log,the Kingfisher,did anyone from BF enter the comp?.
As this is, presumably, a Countryfile viewers' competition, should it win, it raises the possibility of the programme having to say, "All of you 'ordinary' viewers are not allowed to take a shot like this!" - or "You're all equal, but some are more equal than others."
