Hidden Quarry near Stoney is currently showing as bird banned, from early March until June, on both the RAD app and UKC crag page, so it's disappointing to see routes there being logged during this time.

It's also clear that work has been done to block off the parking spaces on the adjacent road,  does anyone know if this is just coincidental, or an attempt to restrict access generally? Hidden Quarry (formerly Darlton 2)

In reply to cragtyke:

Can I just add that logging routes on a bird banned crag is really stupid. Of course, maybe the people involved are new to outdoor climbing and don't know about bird bans, so if that's the case then can I encourage people to check

before heading to a particular crag. This is particularly important in spring when many birds are nesting.
