[QUOTE="BBC, post: 8137439, member: 4074"] Farm is criss crossed with footpaths and a long distance path through the middle, so see plenty of walkers. The vast majority are fine and mostly local, so do respect the paths, but we do get the odd Walker navigating by mobile phone or vague directions in a guide book, but usually very appreciative when pointed in the right direction. The problem ones are the lentil eating, woollen knicker brigade who have a Chris Packham poster on their bedroom wall. Can spot them a mile off laden with backpack, binoculars and long lense cameras who because they have spotted a highly rare lesser spotted little brown jobby, this gives them the right to go wherever they want. Was accosted by one last year when doing an evening walk with the dog on a footpath, who laid into me that I should control my dog and that it had to be on a lead so as to not disturb the ground nesting birds. I ‘politely’ pointed out to her that a) it was my field so my dog can do what the hell it likes in the field and b) that the reason the grass was so short was because the field had been baled for silage the previous week, so if there were any ground nesting birds they were now nesting inside a 6ft silage bale!
