I visited Fairburn Ings reserve in Yorkshire last Saturday with my local RSPB Group and it was an excellent days birdwatching including excellent views of the nesting Spoonbills. But I have got a few critical points to make about RSPB reserve Fairburn Ings, as Fairburn Ings does allow dogs, but so many dog owners had let them loose off there leads and also dogs aren’t allowed in the visitor centre at Fairburn Ings except guide dogs and one owner had brought his dog into the seating area where people could bring in light refreshments from the shop and this certainly wasn't a guide dog. The staff or volunteers did not ask the dog owner to take the dog outside of the visitor centre, which I thought was disappointing.
