I learn from the Scottish Wild Lands Group that the NFU welcomes the plan to gas badger families in their setts!

So, we've to be outraged about children being gassed in Syria but it's OK to gas badgers at home!?! shock

Flowerofthewest we went to watch the dolphins of the Black isle, after we had watched them which was amazing, we looked up and there was numerous Kites, what a lovely day

Yes Hebs. I know the ones. Saw them this year again and with two babies, just 10 days old. Love dolphins, they seem to swim so close to the shore 'eyeballing' us humans.

When we first moved up to Berkshire my DH kept telling me about the big birds with forked tails that he saw as he was driving his lorry. All I knew about red kites was that they were really, really rare and lived in Wales. I had missed the whole re introduction thing while we were in Cornwall and I was amazed when I started seeing them myself. Dozens of them up and down the M40 brilliant!!!
