Interesting comments, Jostein. In the US there are many nest cameras, especially those of the nests of eagles and other raptors. I have never seen the kind of negative reaction of which you speak, nor have I head of any laws such as you describe. It sounds like the Scandinavians feel about their birds the way Americans feel about whales.
