I live in what was once a wond.erful habitat with otters, 5 species of bats, many many types of waterfowl which visited as well as all the other wonderful birds, mammals and insects which inhabited this rural 95 acre wooded site -now? thousands of trees have been removed, shrub and habitats torn down and all that is left is a pair of swans and a couple of dozen ducks and they have recently been threatened when red oil/diesel leaked into the lake - so, I am sickened by the whole system. What is the point in one lone voice saving a few birds when with one swoop a beautiful area has been destroyed simply so developers can build some fancy houses! It is tragic as our beautiful birds of prey have now been seen sitting at the side of the dual carriageway looking for food as their hunting ground is gone. its time the local authorities woke up to the destruction they are causing Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with the need for more people to have wildlife friendly gardens but what about the responsibility of local councils?
