Following the finding of the Squacco Heron at the Wildlife Watchpoint on Thursday, RSPB kept the reserve open until 7pm that night so that people could have access to see the bird and opened the Wildlife Watchpoint again early on Friday morning.
As TBC/RSPB Liaison Office I have been informed that the member of RSPB staff that was at the entrance of the carpark on Friday, to let people know that this was so, was verbally abused by an alleged bird club member who did not let the lady explain what was going on and although he did apologise after his outburst, this sort of thing is totally unacceptable and this person should feel ashamed at his attitude.
If the RSPB have someone on duty at this point it is for a very good reason and they should be listened to first.
