Is this Instagram account stealing YOUR photos?

There are a lot of familiar images on this Instagram account. Maybe they are there legitimately, but I'm suspicious.

Not many photo credits in there...

It looks suspicious.

It seems obvious that they are, but unless you can identify a photo as "yours", it doesn't appear that you can do much about it.

I think the site is not claiming they are their original pictures and there is attribution for many photos. I guess the real question is "Does Paul Nicklin give them permission to use for example the Narwhal shots"

Well, this is 7 months on from the original post. There look like a lot more photo credits there now. But I suspect they still don't have permission for the most part.
