Give our new @TedsTerns a follow to keep up to date with the nesting shorebirds at Gibraltar Point 🐥

[Lincs Wildlife Trust @LincsWildlife]

The ringed plovers are back at Gibraltar Point, with 20 paired-up birds already on the shoreline.
They lay their well camouflaged eggs in a scrape in the shingle, making them extremely vulnerable to accidental disturbance, dogs and even being trodden underfoot. 🧵1/3

The recent dry weather has left habitats tinder dry, we've already had number of fires on our reserves and would like to remind everyone that barbecues and fires should not be lit on reserves and wild camping is not permitted.

We’re saddened by the way a small proportion of visitors are treating some of our nature reserves. Mess like this is so dangerous both for wildlife and other visitors. A heartfelt plea to please respect our reserves and help us look after them!

Please read our latest press release on how we can all help wildlife as lockdown eases 👇 https://t.co/0Q8gbIQ9Y6

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

National restrictions are easing on 29 March. If you’re planning on spending time outdoors, help keep it clean.

Take a bag for your rubbish so litter doesn't harm our wildlife or green spaces.

Remember that many restrictions will still remain in place.
