Unfortunately, Phil, I don't think many reading this will be surprised. For a while now ,I've been uneasy with the widescale publicity of scarce bird's breeding sites on the internet. Ring ouzel in Cheshire as a breeder must be close to extinction ,yet this site is mentioned every year on here without a thought and some who come to view won't give a damn about the bird's welfare.
It's too late now for this site but can we all please think before we publicise the whereabouts of breeding birds ? Tell trusted mates if you wish but if you put it on the web you can pretty well guarantee some idiots will turn up.
