User's notes
Just before (and why) we left a man and his son came along and started throwing in heavy weighted Yabby lures on long lines scaring a number of the birds away. As it is such a small pond we thought it was a bit unfair on the wildlife and mentioned this but it was totally ignored. We asked that they at least keep away from where the birds nest at the front but as we left no points for guessing where they went. It may be legal to do this but a bit of sense would be nice. Unfortunately there was not much else we could do.
