Hi Amanda,
Nearly four years ago, when we lived in New Acton, I wrote to ministers about the appalling West Basin plans and how they would impact on the reed warblers and the water birds which used to bring their young
ones up out of the lake to feed on the grass. I never got any useful responses from any of them. We moved to Campbell for several reasons but the planned destruction of West Basin was one of them.

Hi all
Not sure if anyone’s interested, I’m follow up from email an email I sent out late last year about the reed at West Basin (where they are filling in some of the lake for building works)
I have been contacting ministers and the city renewal people asking for some clarity.
Please see attached responses I’ve had. Not sure if it will make any difference to the plight of this small group of reedwarblers.
Thanks again, I’m new to COG’s but I am loving hearing the devise knowledge the members have about birds.
Thank you
😊
Cheers
Amanda
