final clarification on the issue of nests: As I stated Fernando Ortega, and I have for a serious, responsible, and a friend since I met him personally a little over a year, there the rules (I know) not to allow photo uploads nesting raptors and prey photo taken with live bait, but the fact that these rules are not in view is apparently due to a computer problem, which will be resolved shortly. As images of nests that are still preserved, are ancient, and are awaiting removal. And as he says, these rules are not a personal whim, and with them is to annoy anyone, but you try not to encourage or lead to people without experience can expect to get pictures of nests. Fotonatura puts conservation and to the spectacular images, and not only understand and respect your position but I also believe that, given the impact of the site are absolutely right, it is certain is that with experience or not, there are always unscrupulous (in this and any other area), or people who collect photos for fun or for sport, with no definite purpose in advance. We all have had cases of nests abandoned by now, although fortunately not know any first-hand, if I had the experience of knowing the destruction of a nest of eaglets by the fact that it was marked with the passage of the harvester; There were no photos in between, but the signal (usually within the conservation campaign) served some unscrupulous to enter the nest, the same thing could have done a hide. Returning to the photo
nest I climbed, I can assure you, and I say no to people I know (who knows how to act) but for the rest, who took every precaution and for having, the chicken did not suffer setbacks, and For my part the fact this kind of pictures should not be a hobby, but part of an informative editorial project (for which I get paid not a penny as in previous cases) that includes all raptors in the Iberian Peninsula , of which only four are missing me.
Another thing that does not allow Fotonatura are images taken with the use of live bait. It's something I have never thought, as I personally do not bear to see the poor animal (bait) twisting for hours waiting to be preyed mercilessly on, and therefore endorses the decision, while I respect those who practice this modality.
Everyone is free to display the images you want on your own blogs, websites, or magazines, but now I know the motives of the editors Fotonatura, the praise and endorsement.
thank Fernando for his clarifications, which were never before because they were on holiday abroad, but have not been kept waiting after their arrival, even before the mandatory break.
