Hi Chris, You are really putting the reserve on the map. The RSPB will be putting in hides and paths next.
(Please).

no chance geoff tried for years to get something done, but it is all about the access road the land is owned by the oil company and the cost would be horrendous.

Hi Geoff,

As Terry points out, access is a problem, hence why the RSPB presumably continue to class it as a holding reserve with hardly any finances/management put into it. The access problem is presumably also why the RSPB don't promote the reserve, instead directing people to the more visitor-friendly Frampton site.

Regards

You keep finding good birds and they'll have to do something.

It could be a right headache for them if I somehow managed to dig out a Mega - I don't think they need to hold their breath though.
