The next paragraph says:

The group said this has resulted in improvements to native woodlands, including natural regeneration, whilst at the same time facilitating moorland management.

Nothing like a land owner explaining to those who have very little why they should be happy with what they are given. She makes a good point that people are irresponsible, but that's due to a lack of education. Ignorant people will go wherever they want anyway.

It's a perfect example of how lobbying and misinformation can be so difficult to overcome. The impact of 'flushable' wipes is known and significant yet rules aren't put in place to stop it. I wonder why....

Thanks! It's strange, we have loads of blue tits in our garden and I swear I've not heard it before.

Great, thanks for the app suggestion and the effort!

I'm amazed anything has caught with how wet it's been.

Unbelievable! There must be a way to track this down.

I'd argue (without any data to back it up) that most of those second homes are in places that are not economically viable places to live (rural, seasonal towns etc.)

Personally I'd say the solution is higher density housing near cities where there are jobs and current infrastructure. These immense satellite towns that stink of American suburbia are the worst case scenario and only serve to line the pockets of shitty companies like Taylor Wimpy etc.

Well, it's kind of obvious. They've had lots of close wins and a few blowout losses. Maybe it's a tactic, if you go down by a couple, give up and save energy for the next one haha.

Yeah, I was being a bit unfair and it seems to depend on location. And yes, make it clear and there won't be a problem, but having the problem to complain about gives them credence to the removal of public rights of way.

Even the areas where there are rights of way, private land owners make it as difficult as possible to follow them.

If they can cull deer in Richmond park I think it can be done safely in most places. If the population is that rampant then the introduction of wolves and lynx would end up causing a spike in predator populations in short order that may force them to find food closer to humans as well, which would then lead to the need to cull the predator species. I'd expect that a cull would be required if predators are introduced to start everything off in a balanced state.

What's the speed of the road? I would personally join the road earlier so that I can manoeuvre across with the traffic, but if the road is super fast I'd probably pick A. That is unless right on red is permitted, then I'm not sure.

At least two terrible calls by the refs though. They decided the game.

If cows are used for conservation grazing, isn't the problem of them getting TB non existent? The problem is people catching TB from cows through milk and close contact, not cows catching TB from badgers.

Unfortunately wind farms are always going to have an impact on nature. All major infrastructure projects do. The alternative of continuing to rely on fossil fuels is already having a way more damning impact on all wildlife.

Here's a hack: Claim all the profits the water companies are making as tax until it stops. Use the extra tax to fund monitoring and efforts to clean up the mess.

I think the caps logo is pretty average myself. Id put the canes logo at the bottom, it looks like a Beyblade

Absolutely.

I keep a few ragwort plants alive in my garden and they almost always get eaten to the ground by cinnabar caterpillars. I grew up around horses and was taught to abhor it, but a small amount of research suggests it's not as bad as the horse and farmer associations would have you believe.

It depends in the value of the tree vs the cost to plant it. If the shortfall in funding mostly covers the cost to pay people to plant the trees then the charities will have to make up the shortfall in time or donations which may be impossible.

Lol isn't this the equivalent of wagging a finger at them? Farmers have been flagrantly abusing the land they grow on since WW1. What powers are in place to stop them? Relying on their own moral code to do the right thing is the equivalent to asking Facebook to not sell our data.

Hunting isn't about culling, fox hunting is about chasing down an animal with a pack of hounds for the pleasure of a bunch of bloodthirsty rich people. Culling is necessary but it should be done by professionals in a humane manor.

I honestly think this is the worst use case for a 3d printer. The part isn't improved by printing. You can buy the part easily. The cost of modelling time and printing is more than the replacement. There's a decent chance the replacement part would have arrived quicker than the print took.... Sorry to be a bore, it's better than an octopus or another benchy, I'll give you that.

You may have uploaded the wrong image again!

I can't believe that multiple responses didn't include Demko. Kinda suggests that polls like this are BS

How is it so difficult to understand that commercial quantities of shit released anywhere is a bad idea?

It's a kit from Green Feathers. I wouldn't call it plug and play exactly, but it's not been that complicated.

I'll definitely send updates if we get something.

I was just looking at some roe deer in the field out the back of our house which is a first for this year. Last month I saw a hen harrier at Wicken Fen, the sun set was spectacular and the silhouette of the hen harrier swooping around in front of the sun was a special moment.

I put a nestbox up with a camera in it last week. Really hope some birds use it this year :)

That car being driverless could have saved their life.

The all star game holds zero interest for me. I'd definitely watch an international game.

Not a bad way to look at it. Let's hope he lives up to the hype!

I'm always a pessimist when it comes to giving up picks. I know it's an exciting time for the team but I don't want a cup at all cost.

Nah, don't believe the hype.

At least it's not the worst streak... Yet.

The Bruins have a new kit.

I think they are a couple of pieces away from being a legit contender, but they are also a couple of injuries away from mediocrity (a la last season)

Canucks fans don't know where they are or what's going on.

Oh, is this a poke at the Disney copyright expiring?
