Having spoken to a couple of the wanglers, it turns out they, and the 'Newport Sea Wanglers' (the organisers of today's match), are well aware they shouldn't be on that stretch but it seems to make precisely f**k-all difference. They don't even have the sense to sit below the sea-wall. I wonder if they use 'Wanker Custom Lures',... bet they do [Note: if you get a mo, check out the link, it's not every website that includes the phrase "Bob hooked this big bass with a BJ Wanker crank"].
As usual the piss poor putt-putt planes pottered to and fro from Whitson Aerodrome, today joined by a shiny low-flying helicopter.

regarding the phutt phutt craft,had a couple low over saltmarsh fields this af"noon,-i can video/photo them so can read registration no"s---but only if somfink is done bout it...
Are these planes coming from the airstrip that is involved in a planning dispute - some bloke called Bowen laying a concrete runway when he only had permission for a grass airstrip?
I'd guess the majority of the light aircraft come from Whitson, doubt the helicopters do though. Both types of aircraft regularly cause disturbance at Goldcliff (and over the adjoining Severn Estuary SPA); at a minimum the flights disrupt feeding or roosting behaviour, at worst they result in flushing most of the birds off the lagoons. It just depends on flight height, type of plane, bird species involved, wind direction, bloody-mindedness of the pilots, etc., etc.
