They've built a nice new hide at Old Moor sunk into the ground so you have the ground at eye level. Unfortunately you can expect to be charged £40 (less £10 if a member) to use it. They are also opening up the Bittern monitoring hide for use by Photographers at the same prices.
This is going to present some great opportunities for photographers but is it right for them to charge extra to photographers? After all don't the photographers already contribute a lot to the RSPB community?
I can see both sides of the argument here and of course the RSPB is a charity but personally I can't see me paying £40 to use a hide for an hour or two unless they have snow leopards in there :)
Any views?
