I used to visit Sandwell a lot from 1993 to 2000 but only have sporadic visits nowadays. Yes it was better in the old days with the old hides but I don't really know what the RSPB can do about the vandalism, unfortunately it's a sign of the times. The RSPB have done a lot of work improving the marsh and lake and the amount of birds being seen doesn't appear to have gone down any more than you would have expected in a general period of bird decline. Nice to see Cetti's Warbler recently colonising or attempting to anyway.
I still look forward to visiting when I can but prefer to visit very early about 6am in spring to avoid dog walkers etc. I would be sad to see the RSPB leave Sandwell Valley.
