A nature reserve, RSPB Rainham Marshes, has temporarily closed one of its bird hides, the Shooting Butts hide, following significant vandalism on April 22. The damage resulted in smashed windows and prompted the reserve to undertake extensive repairs. A spokesperson has called on anyone with information about the incident to contact Essex Police. Fortunately, the other three bird hides at the reserve remain open. The incident has raised concerns about security and preservation efforts at the site.
Overnight on April 22, significant vandalism was carried out on the Shooting Butts Hide at RSPB Rainham Marshes. We are in contact with the police and urge anyone with any information to come forward to Essex Police.
We are carrying out extensive work that will need to be done to repair the damage. Shooting Butts Hide will be closed to the public until further notice.
