He chose to ignore my advice and did what he wanted to do, he was bullish and uninterested in the habitat of the wildlife. The Inverness canoe club were given a clear message by the people of Nairn with the petition to keep canoes/slalom out of this area of the river, and that we value our wildlife. This gentleman still chooses to ignore this ! To my mind they were not canoeing anyway, they had no paddles and were punting with poles, inch by inch upstream ensuring that all the wildlife would be scared away! They chose this spot which is recognized by everyone in Nairn as a Haven for wildlife, it was iresponsible and contrary to the Countryside Act in my book.jayteescot1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11240392651168819167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630121195074082753.post-69936699941985152212009-10-04T13:32:23.748+01:002009-10-04T13:32:23.748+01:00Hi Joe , first of all may i say i am sorry to hear...Hi Joe , first of all may i say i am sorry to hear about your unfortunate brush with the law,and i am sure nothing will come of it infact i would go as far to say it will either not go to court or you will be admonished . but may i also say havin been on the receiving end of your outbursts myself, it is a fault that you readily admit yourself, and i also truly beleive your intentions with our local wildlife are true and may i say well appreciated by a lot of locals.. but you have to control your outburst and perhaps have a diff approach when it comes to educating people about the wildlife on nairn's riverside, i supose the right approach you should have taken about the canoeists if you thought they were up to something no good was to report it to which ever authority you thought might deal with it best , instead of as they say "taking the law in to your own hands" but i wish you good luck joe with the outcome of this matter Joe ......
