1. Drive a quad-bike around a Nature Reserve. The birds love loud exhausts.
2. Use the newly built hide for fishing from and walk around it talking and wearing brightly coloured shirts. Don´t bother using the 100 or so properly built fishing steps.
3. Let your dog off a leash, in fact you can do this in National Parks too.
4. Shout to your friends that you don´t know where all the bloody ducks are, call your dog back and play with it.
5. Stop your car with loud music right next to a hide, get out leaving the door open and ask the quiet birder what he sees.
6. Throw stones into the water in front of your hide.
One thought on “How to annoy a birdwatcher…”
Unfortunately, that is what usually happens in our Parks. There is no enough sensibility among people to enjoy the spectacle of nature with respect.
I hope they will change their minds…
Best regards.
