Thanks for the clarification. This seems to be a particularly harsh judgement which relies on testimony from people on the ground to prove that wildlife were disturbed in some way. Surely a low flying hawk would cause a lot more distress to the locals.
Looking at the nature reserve map is a bit daunting as there is virtually no way of avoiding them on any trip. I fly in NL quite a bit and love the area but may have to be more 'selective' in future.
