1-2 April Garganey/harbour security

Not been to far this week just cycled to Holywell and then St Mary's a couple of times , missed out on Swallow & House Martin & even Sandwich Terns so my list is only increasing very slowly,
Wheatears in the ploughed field next to the track , I also called into the harbour at Blyth no sign of the Icelands,but there is a sign to say that anyone on the jetty without a pass would be liable to prosecution, all in the aid of security, one jetty has a fence up and the rest of the harbour and entire river is open , talk about wasting money, as long as it's seen to be done is the maxim, I have been going to the harbour since I was a child, but now alas do not have the right security clearance to look at the fishing boats and gulls that surround them, is that progress or what!!!!!

Obviously a result of the increased birder activity this winter. Of course we've all done loads of damage and caused major security issues??
The fact is Trespass is not a criminal offence and you cannot be prosecuted for it as long as you don't aggravate the situation and leave when asked.

Bloody outraged about Blyth harbour go there a fair bit to see whats around in birdlife. There trying to stop people enjoying areas of nature.
