A tweet from Cumbria Wildlife Trust.
This happened despite the site having a warden. I'm currently visiting some sites which remarkably aren't visited by any dog walkers or any other visitors. Already this year there've been successful breeding by Oystercatcher, Lapwing, Mute Swan, Moorhen, Mallard and Greylag. It's because of this sort of occurrence I don't disclose the precise locations.

A female eider duck that was incubating eggs on Foulney Island has been killed by a dog. A reminder that dogs are NOT allowed on this important site at this time, as it’s home to many ground-nesting birds. Warning: next post contains a graphic image
