People who use Derbyhaven beach for recreational purposes to be careful to minimise any disruption to birds. 

In recent weeks, the Government has received a number of reports of people and dogs disturbing birds on the beach.

One report was of a man and dog walking up to a large flock of dunlin, redshank, ringed plover, grey plover and curlew that were feeding along the water's edge. 

Derbyhaven beach has been a designated bird sanctuary since 1936 and is classed as an Area of Special Scientific Interest and a Marine Nature Reserve in recognition of its wildlife.
