One of the nets could not be opened as some nearby campers had decided to use it a line to dry their clothes on!!! It is unbelievable how some people think only of themselves - thankfully a very rare occurrence. Fortunately for them I was able to resist the temptation to wake them at 0400 to tell them to move it all.
Guided talk at 1100 attracted five members of the public.
Migration watching was poor with few birds seen, some of the Members who had planned to stay longer leaving the island as a result.
Plans to do some more boardwalk replacement this afternoon.
