TROUBLE @LONDON WWT
London Wetland Centre; 2 Firecrest - including a fem found dead yesterday. Regrettably
this is my last post from this site after sixteen years of passionate
recording. I have been bullied and humiliated out by the senior wardens.
As many of you know, they care little for birds (unless they are
pinioned or stuck in the revolting upcoming aviary) and even less for
birdwatchers. Clearly all is not well at "the nation's favourite nature
reserve" , indeed it is rotten to the core. I feel a campaign coming
on... (R. Kaye) What's the problem? I'm a WWT member and SBS financial supporter. I never feel unwelcome at LWC? (S Enright) - This
comes as no surprise as one time I was refused admission, despite being
a fully paid up member - the reason? - because they were running a
wedding reception!! - all they seem to care about is the money : ( (JR).
Some problems pertaining to scarce and Schedule one breeding species
may be found in the paper "The Breeding Birds of London Wetland Centre"
published in the London Bird Report for 2013 (JW). I recognize the
bullying culture (DM).
