Hi this is one reason i don't go there at weekends any more. Unfortunately its the same faces most weekends. maybe they need to think about putting a member of staff in the hide and not allowing people "camp" for long periods.
Is it easier during the week? I was at Rye Meads in April on a Friday and there were only 3 of us in the hide at about 10:30AM. Or is it the same weekdays now the Kingfishers have young? I couldn't decide between Rye Meads and Fowlmere last Friday and decided on Fowlmere (where I did in fact see a lone Kingfisher) but I thought I might try Rye Meads again after the school half term week on a Friday or Monday.
Sorry to say Christopher Y but you are not going to like this reply, we are all paying members and are all entitled to the same privileges, some of us can get out of bed in the morning, if you can't or won't that is your problem, why should we have to move for you, instead of complaining to the staff get up earlier or buy an alarm clock, I myself drive 30 miles each way to get there and I am always there before it opens, often before the staff arrive, we are not camping!!!! I am well aware that this post will upset others, sorry but it needs to be said.
