They are quite tame as I have seen them in Tuscany (No camera with me on Hols) they behave just like farmyard ducks walking around you on the lawn.{:))<br />I have heard horror stories before about some Twitchers. This is appalling behaviour by that person. Obviously a nobody in reality. You wouldn't see real birding celebrities like Chris Packham or Simon King behave like that.

You know what Trevor personally I would send that image in to the letters page of bird magazines asking "is this the definition of a hypocrit" but I guess some will say it's good field craft...just a bit angry:-) <br />Back to the bird, what a beauty cracking images all of them.
