My last two visits to the gull/ shorebird high tide roost on the rock armour groyne at the north end of Cleethorpes North Promenade underlined one of the problems (se attached pix).

There is no restriction on sea anglers and, as far as I know (but I may be wrong) this is the location designated by North East Lincolnshire Council for launch of jet-skis.

Trouble is that 'having fun' means different things to different people.

Thank you Jim
Always good to know where to report disturbance that spoils walks, etc for everyone else as well as further endangering wildlife. They've few enough places they can settle these days.

Update from Mike Pilsworth of the RSPB;Hi Jim When you put the link on the Lincs bird club website. Worth highlighting that all these reports are looked at regular review meetings with the Humber nature partnership, NE , local authorities, RSPB & wildlife trusts and actions are taken as a result.  Dealing with a lot of these issues can be complicated and can take a long time but receiving this info from concerned locals and birdwatchers is vital for building a understanding of issues and how to deal with them and is much appreciated. Best wishes Mike
