Five Estuaries have announced that following the consultation to put up protected enclosures to encourage Lesser Black-Backed gulls to breed, they have dropped one of the four proposed sites, that at Chantry, just south of Orford quay.
This is good news as they have listened to the comments from the Association and others that the site would have interfered with important local paths,and might have added complications for the improvements to the estuary embankments. The other three sites on Orfordness north east of Cobra Mist are now being taken forward as proposed. See map for location.
