Is this now an annual event? This is the third successive year that the Tower Hide has been closed in September/October. Why can't the maintenance work be done to last for several years? And why couldn't this work have been done over the summer while the pond was drained and there were fewer birds present, rather than waiting until autumn migration is underway?

WWF have been given a very large donation recently for infrastructure upgrades, wouldn't it be more sensible to do a good job to repair the existing structure for several years rather than building another identical hide next to this one that will also need similar maintenance in a few years?
