Both Rudyard and Astbury have been very quiet bird wise this year mainly due to disturbance and high water levels . More and more people are visiting every year for fishing , boating or just a leisurely walk around . And this does and has had a big inpact in the lack of wildlife sightings , its been very noticeable especially of the last 10 years .
