@JohnBundock It seems the person that was kicked of here for posting stolen photos for his fake sightings has used this photo of yours on iNaturlist. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/67166807

Using stolen images is also against iNaturalist guidelines, I’ll put the process through to the curators and ask that the images be removed.

Thanks @ Tapirlord, I would think all his photos are stolen though. He is toxic on eBird now, a much more a difficult task to remove him.

Yeah, there are certainly an interesting mix of images on his profile. Some are of very high quality (which I imagine are stolen) and others are fairly blurry and probably his. If he had little to no original content, then i could probably justify suspending his account as a 'sockpuppet' but for the time being there isn't enough evidence as far as I can see. I'll have to reverse image search all his observations I suspect.
It's a shame to hear he his continuing in his old ways, I went to high school with the guy (though he is a year or two younger than me) and he always struck me as being passionate. Then again, there is a difference between being a genuine part of a community and forging exceptionally rare finds in order to gain status. Sigh...
