A spokesperson for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has issued a statement after motorcyclists were spotted using paths in the Pagham Nature Reserve.

"We are aware that some individuals have been using motorcycles on the paths and tracks around the RSPB Pagham Nature Reserve," RSPB site manager Adam Taylor said.

"Unauthorised motorised vehicles are not permitted on either the Pagham Harbour or Medmerry reserves, as these can damage fragile habitats, disturb wildlife and impact on our other visitors. If members of the public witness their use or any anti-social behaviour while visiting this reserve, we encourage them to report it to the police by calling 999.”
