Trespassing on St Aidan’s Site
There has been an (inevitable?) increase in ramblers, dogwalkers etc on the site over the past few weeks. We are now keeping a log of these incidents in order to pass to RSPB/UK Coal so that they understand the extent of the trespass and disturbance.
Could all members and visitors to site please record, on the sheet at the front of the logbook in the hide, any instances of members of the public on the St Aidan’s and Astley Lake sites.
It would be helpful to include such detail as date and time, number of people (age, sex, distinguishing features), number and breed of dogs, activity (walker, dog walker, cyclist, poacher, angler), which part of the site (on paths or not), and if possible the entry/exit point.
Thanks GR
