One of our early-risers has sent us a picture of a small red tent pitched just inside the main entrance, right next to the noticeboard on which the NO CAMPING sign is displayed. It may or may not contain the person/people who lit a fire in the picnic place last night.

While this is most probably some innocent backpacker, the reserve’s early morning bird watchers, dog walkers and runners, particularly if they are alone, might find this quite frightening. Stay safe.
