Thank you very much Mike for your contribution to the debate.
Firstly, you probably know that most, if not all of us appreciate the difficult task you and your staff at Ynyslas have regarding the "people management" aspect of the job there.
Secondly, you and your staff must be just as concerned and distressed as birdwatchers about the disturbance to the birds there at nesting time and, perhaps even more importantly given the sheer number of birds involved, at migration time when a very significant numbers of wading birds are seeking sanctuary and rest at this vital staging post on their migrations.
Thirdly, the site is open to members of the public and birdwatchers, local and visitors, are also members of the public and their enjoyment of their pursuit can be totally destroyed by others, whom it would seem may be contravening the law.
So, it is heartening to read your proposals and, speaking for myself, I am sure that if you need assistance from the local birdwatching community, it will be very readily forthcoming.
