Terms of Use

 

Protection of birds comes first

Very important: on Birdingplaces.eu protection of birds comes first! All users of Birdingplaces.eu should be aware that it is not appropriate to post sensitive bird information that could lead to disturbance of birds and that special care should be taken by sharing information on vulnerable or endangered bird species. For example, revealing the exact nesting location of an endangered species is not a good idea. Birdingplaces.eu monitors all entries on this kind of information. If we think disturbance might occur or sensitive data are published, we will ask the user to remove the specific data from the website.
