Thank you very much for the info. It is really useful to hear your thoughts! Many of the sites do not have hides, so its something that will require a bit more thinking, but I like the idea.

Good morning all, I manage the Humber Estuary European Marine Site, which is a SSSI, Special Area of Conservation, Special Protected Area and Ramsar site. As far as designations go, it's pretty much got them all. As you may be aware, we are now moving into ground nesting bird season, with a lot of delicate species residing along the coastline (not just on the Humber), so this is a crucial time of year for them. I have used the search function and have seen a few posts (from other places in the UK) stating that unless listed as a Bird Sanctuary, it's very difficult to know where is and isn't a sensitive area to fly. I have been having conversations with the CAA about adding key areas on the Humber as 'Bird Sanctuaries', but they ask that all other avenues to rectify the situation have been exhausted before they will consider adding it to their maps. I have been working with a few local paramotorists to understand more about the sport, what it is you need, how you fly etc. The way I always try to work with these situations (and in life in general!) is that it is not a case of Us vs Them, or Them vs Us, but both of Us vs the Situation. So the question that I wanted to ask you is: What information would be useful to you to avoid disturbance to wildlife/habitat over protected sites? Where should it be advertised for maximum visibility? Any thoughts welcome
