saturday 22nd ynyslas





High tide 9. 45. produced at least 500 waders, mainly r plovers and dunlin. One curlew sand, 7 sanderling, 1 turnstone, 2 whimbrel, 8 knot and 3 sand terns. A superb hobby through the dunes heading south was a great bonus. The assistant wardens do a sound job directing dogs and fishermen from the main roosting and feeding area. However, one made his way across to the island disturbing everything, the jet skiers made their base there also. Why is this valuable of habitat not fully protected at these important times? Fence posts and large signs, common sense restrictions to stop these ignorant idiots who think they can go anywhere, is anyone in charge!
