Visitor Centre temporary closure<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Visitor Centre will be closed between 22nd<\/sup> April and 17th<\/sup> May for internal refurbishment, which will improve the working space for staff and volunteers and refresh the experience for visitors. The work will include redecoration, new flooring, windows and doors and extension of the office. The car park, toilets and Nature Reserve will remain open at all times. New displays and information will also be provided within the Centre later this summer.<\/p>\n

Community Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next Pagham Harbour Community Forum meets at 6.30-8.30pm on Monday 15th<\/sup> July at St. Ninian\u2019s Church Hall, Pagham Road, Pagham. All welcome. Please send any agenda items you would like to propose to Pagham.harbour@rspb.org.uk<\/a> by 8th<\/sup> July.<\/p>\n

Marine Snail Survey of Church Norton Spit<\/strong><\/p>\n

A survey was carried out in March 2013 on behalf of Natural England to establish the distribution of the Defolin\u2019s Lagoon Snail on Church Norton Spit.\u00a0The\u00a0RSPB\u00a0have not yet been informed of the results.<\/p>\n

Nature Reserve Guides<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have now recruited and trained a team of volunteers who will be regularly out on the reserve as nature reserve guides, meeting and greeting visitors and providing general information. They will help us to extend a warm welcome site-wide, and also enable us to more promptly respond to maintenance issues.<\/p>\n

Little Tern Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n

An area of Church Norton Spit has now been fenced off, as is usual at this time of year, to protect the ground nesting birds such as Little Tern, Ringed Plover, Oystercatcher and Skylark which are easily disturbed by beach users. If disturbed, the birds may be prevented from nesting or will fly from their nest, neglecting eggs or chicks. The shingle beach is an important area for these vulnerable birds and you can help them to survive by sticking to the tracks and lower beach outside the fenced area and walking dogs on a short lead.<\/p>\n

WEx Leaders<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pagham Harbour is looking for volunteers interested in becoming a Main Leader and Assistant Leaders for a new Wildlife Explorer group for young people, aged 5 to 12. The RSPB has over 100 Wildlife Explorer groups across the UK, and wishes to increase this number. Pagham Harbour is hoping to open the new group in September, and to enable this to happen we will need enthusiastic people with an ability to connect with young people, who have just a few hours a month to spare. For more information contact Don Fuller on 01273 773626 don.fuller@rspb.org.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
