For the past few winters, we have surveyed people using the footpaths next to the Stour and Orwell Estuaries to better understand how and why people choose to spend their leisure time here, and what impact, if any, that has on the wintering birds in the area.

We are keen to hear from you as to how you use the local area. If you don’t spend leisure time in the area, we’d love you to fill the survey too as it is all really helpful insight for us as to where people choose to spend their time.

The online survey should take no more than a couple of minutes to fill out. We would be grateful if you could also encourage others to complete it too.

Many thanks in advance.
