Just a note.

The story of the fire at the nature reserve is in both tonight's Lancashire Evening Telegraph and this week's Accrington Observer.

Both papers have mistakes in their copy. The LET says the fire was started in the early hours of Monday, when it was in fact it was in the early hours of Tuesday. The Observer writes that a fisherman's hut had been destroyed in the blaze, when no such hut ever existed, and would anyway have been a bit odd at a nature reserve. So much for the accuracy of our local press.

The good news is that according to the LET, the Lancashire Wildlife Trust that run the site are seeking new funding to repair the viewing platform, and are determined not to let the vandals win.
