Once again WWF are closing off one of the best hides to bird watchers and photographers during the best weekend of migration. This now seems to be a regular practice.
The expect bird watchers and photographers to pay WWF membership, on the basis that this money pays for upkeep of the facilities. Yet they choose to deny access to the best facilities at the best times of year, so that they can promote themselves to non-birders.
In the past the reserve was run for the benefit of birds and bird watchers, but that seems to be less the case now.
