Ynyslas issues and 'Birds Rock'

Its good to know that the issue on bird disturbance at Ynyslas has generated an
intelligent debate it seems that it may initiate the desired effect with some new initiatives proposed by CCW. I'm sure this matter can be dealt with in a tactful way and that the majority of dog walkers will come on board with it. Its not asking a lot of them they have miles of open beach between Ynyslas and Borth to exercise their animals. It is the fundamental right of all us to be allowed to enjoy the freedom of that activity 'myself included'. No doubt there will be the occasional individual who will choose to undermine the desires of the majority and possibly 'flout' the law by allowing their animals to 'recklessly' disturb the birds that being the case then they should feel the full 'wrath' of the law!

On a lighter note I paid a brief visit to 'Birds Rock' New Quay yesterday there were just a handful of guillemots left on the cliffs but lots of kittiwakes still. I was so pleased to see many juveniles. I understand Liz Allen and her team have done a count of young birds it would be good to know the result.
A young Peregrine was doing what every aggressive young adolescent does giving everyone else around some grief! However he is not yet as fearsome as his ma and pa!
