Sadly, this type of incident is inevitable given the RSPB’s attitude to dogs. The problem of dogs running uncontrolled across the reserve at Hayle was highlighted in a letter to the RSPB four or five years ago. The first letter went unacknowledged, so a second letter was sent. The eventual response, from the Exeter office, was utterly dismissive, so mush so that the writer withdrew their membership of the RSPB.
I often question the purpose and aims of the RSPB given their attitude in supporting the cull of Ruddy Ducks, their overt condemnation of British breeding Eagle Owls and their support for licensed wildfowling on RSPB reserves in the south of England.
This is in no way a criticism of the local RSPB workers ‘on the ground’.

Horrific photos there Paul. I agree something has to be done about that urgently. Can the owner of the dogs be prosecuted at all?
Thanks. Henry.
