My view is NO.They should not be allowed within the areas denoted as "Nature Reserves"..Dogs,are NOT "nature",they are NOT part of any ecosystem.Dogs in most cases are owned by people who have zero interest or care in nature.
They just want somewhere free where they can park their car,and let the dog do its filth everywhere,and if that means also chasing Geese in a field(yes),or diving in ponds where Black-necked Grebes breed(yes),but hey,at least they are getting the dog out so its ok?At least according to the RSPB.Im not knocking the RSPB but really it needs to have dog areas,near the car park maybe,and BIRD areas where mutts will be shot if found or something.
The one that annoys me is the weird "dogs are part of nature" attitude,many seem to have.No,Dogs are kind of Frankenstein creatures,that if they WERE part of nature,would,in fact,be WOLVES.Living in the forest,not running around disturbing birders.
