Having traveled to the site on the first evening to hear the bird, I was really pleased to see the incredibly supportive attitude of senior RSPB staff. All those on site listened patiently and were satisfied with resulting sonographs captured by some of those present. Anglesey has accounted for some really good birds over the past 20 years, a number of which have in some way been associated with RSPB land. It would be highly detrimental to UK birders and North Wales birders in particular if relationships with RSPB staff on the island were adversely affected. Some form of apology may go some way to help repair any damage. Let's hope so.Martin Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388336044530706072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412851395882523391.post-39569200727216970972012-05-26T22:45:22.722+01:002012-05-26T22:45:22.722+01:00Totally agree A+R.

Advice was put out to come and expect a 'hear only' and not to climb the building. I've heard the same of those visitors and that tape luring being used. The bird calls, there is no need to tape lure! The building is out of bounds so don't climb it- easy enough. I'd quite understand for the RSPB to close the gate once again thanks to the over-eager wizzkids.Rob Sandhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473000342176495471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412851395882523391.post-64355633767275347202012-05-26T22:38:13.450+01:002012-05-26T22:38:13.450+01:00Sad to hear this.

The birds could be scoped from a public area, but some intent on capturing a close photo entered prohibited areas. Eventually even the public area was closed to the public and remains so. The bottom line is an issue of self-control vs. selfishness. Thanks for the post, hopefully it will encourage others to mind their manners.Fly or Die Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270103134715932716noreply@blogger.com
