Draft Plan for Lake Lorne, Drydale

["Rosemary Royle" <>]

Aaaargh!! A fun-park??? 

Speaking from the point of view of a "foreign" visitor I was completely amazed 
by the density of water birds at Lake Lorne - we went there looking for 
Freckled Ducks (failed) but virtually every other duck was there, plus several 
sorts of cormorants, spoonbills, snipe etc  and a lot of it was breeding. We 
had low expectations of such a small "suburban" site but were very impressed. 
We walked right round (which was a bit wet at the end - hence the boardwalk 
proposals presumably). It was the best single wetland site we came across on 
our last trip, and because it is relatively small you can see the birds very 
well. 

It would be good to have ID sign boards to help the public identify all the 
things they can see. 

Not entirely sure about the wide path - it would be good if this was some way 
from the lake, to avoid disturbance, with separate access tracks leading to 
view points closer to the lake.
