- There has been a male Blackcap in my garden Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.

Regarding Rampisham Down, you can add your name to the list of people urging Eric Pickles to call in and reverse the decision by going to the Wildlife Trusts website at http://action.wildlifetrusts.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1823&ea.campaign.id=35104 .
This e-petition has fewer than 5000 signatures so far so it needs a lot more yet!

Critical mass ought to create a review, but come on let’s admit it – the planning system is in a pickle already?
Individual members aside, have the WTs got behind Mark’s HH epetition fully yet?
Very pleased to hear that Wexford’s blue whale is to take pride of place at the NHM in London.
If lucky you can still see these giants of the sea, and I can count myself amongst those that have……once in a lifetime!
By the way, whale watching, west of Cork, nothing like it and only a day away with no
Plane flights involved. Not where I saw the blue but humpback, fin, and minke………
“No fracking underneath National Parks but grouse shooting within them?”
Fracking is a threat to water supplies which EVERY species depends on.
Grouse shooting is (currently and mainly) a threat to one species.
I fail to see your point Mark.
