Not sure on the situation with the wildfowl disturbance ban being in place in Scotland if it affects photography or not, but for sure it does specifically mention birdwatchers and dog walkers in the notice.
Give the lack of any firm takers I am not doing the 600 mile round trip.
I have however confirm that the reserve is open, access is OK but care is needed, and the geese are returning having been absent due to the harsh weather.
Cheers

There were about 240 Whoopers present, but the geese were not evident, despite me covering every hide on the reserve.
Good luck to all those going.
