Heysham Obs
It has been a long road to try and exclude dog walkers and other people from the old heliport site, leading to lack of disturbance of the wader roost along the seawall. Re-fencing was a mitigation measure for Peel Energy's single wind turbine and this was carried out about a fortnight ago. It was stressed time and again the the roost on the seawall would only be undisturbed if either the fencing measures were secure or the exclusion notices were being enforced by security or both. The fencing at the Half moon bay café end is fine, but the south end saw just an extra gate and a lock and was clearly still easy to access, albeit only a matters of a few metres from the security base.
Wondering why the small summering Oystercatcher flock was not using the newly secured seawall, spent a bit of time today observing what was happening and sure enough the regular dog walkers who park and access from the Near Naze are just having the inconvenience of hurdling or climbing over the gate, otherwise it is business as usual
Went to have a polite chat to security as one of these dog walkers also parked on the double yellow lines to see what their take was and I was informed that they had received no instructions to apprehend anyone entering the old heliport site
Please can this be sorted out, Peel Ports? Thanks

Med Gull - just adult in head moult, full summer adult and single 2CY in a much-reduced gull presence. Again there did not seem to be a lot of food on Heysham One outfall
