As we edge towards the annual reviews of best birds of the year and best finds on patch I do find it frustrating that sighting boards are not updated daily. Some of these large reserves get it done to perfection such as @RSPBNorfolkLinc who even post a map on social media to regular followers and potential visitors.
Given how competitive it is to attract visitors a little time spend updating these boards goes a long way. Young people engage with social media and as well as proving a useful tool to inform customers it gives the reserve an opportunity to sell other services such as guides walks, items in shop, café. Whilst a great number of staff are voluntary in reserves those greeting birders need to be trained with a minimum level of birding knowledge to be taken seriously by the visitors.
