You will alos find, from the history of the complex, that Pine Lake has actually been recording a fair chunk of the birsd which used to accumulate on the old Dockacres= Borwick Waters. I have all the webs data going back to the 1980s if you want me to send it to you. One of the best birds on the old Dockacres was jamming in on an adult Glaucous Gull on the 'shallow' island whilst running a minibus outing - these things so rarely happen on an organised birding trip!<br /><br />Changes in water levels leaving exposed shorelines can provide LRP feeding areas BUT not necessarily year after year suitable nesting habitat. Exactly that on Middleton IE model boat pond this morning where, despite sea buckthorn removal from the spit, the disturbance/clearance was not enough to prvide suitable habitat. A section will be scarified this coming late winter (severely constrained by GC Newt regulations!) & maybe they will nest, as opposed to feed there next year. Note that they would not have reoccupied the island on Freemans Pool this year had it not been cleared/scarified during the winter. Have to deal with this species in relation to work and its pretty impossible to use it as a reason for preventing/limiting development as it is a colonist of transient habitatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-28945378869064827332010-06-13T20:35:52.621+01:002010-06-13T20:35:52.621+01:00Pleased you are still looking in Pete and thanks f...Pleased you are still looking in Pete and thanks for that, but no names (without permit)/controversy/forums/debate/discussion on this blog.<br /><br />However, I do recall Pied-billed Grebe, Little Ringed Plover, Smew (several winters) Ring-necked Duck, Black Terns, and lots of others I'm not interested in remembering at the moment. And LRP on Conder Pool for seven consecutive years including at least three breeding years is hardly evidence of not retaining a species, but there I just broke all my blog policies in one go!Pete Woodruffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039548314043002357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-2234649886753248332010-06-13T00:55:39.651+01:002010-06-13T00:55:39.651+01:00I dont think you can leave newly created pools to ...I dont think you can leave newly created pools to nature and retain Little Ringed Plover - you have to keep scarifying/disturbing areas of shore line. Please could you explain in detail why the turning of Dockacres into a fishing lake was the 'crime of the century'. Were you happy with the previous regime which was to offload masses of grain into there, creating an artificially high population of e.g. Pochard. This was, I agree great for pulling in rarer ducks but the aim, nevertheless, was to attract wildfowl for the BASC-affiliated shooting syndicate at the time to targetPete Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461363671751316069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-8179562723041622332010-06-12T17:58:37.942+01:002010-06-12T17:58:37.942+01:00Beat that indeed Pete, - cant get near it!!Beat that indeed Pete, - cant get near it!!Warren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.com
