Presume the 2 dogs Oli saw where the same ones I saw, that were running loose and barking in the reserve. When I asked the owners if they had read the signs at the entrance to the reserve the dogs were put on leads. One marsh harrier seen in front of Tower hide prior to dogs.
Also police car made a short visit to car park just after I arrived.

Two dogs were brought into the North Hide on my last visit.

Fairly quiet today, but I don’t blame the birds as there were a couple of very loud dogs out for a walk! ????
