That's sad news.
Until the law changes, it's not about who owns the land, it's about who can you prove was standing there with a smoking gun. Ridiculous!

PS. We had a frog in our toilet the other day when all the rain came down. I think our drains flooded so it washed in from the outside. Thankfully there's no-one upstream from us, otherwise it wouldn't just have been rainwater !!
Unexpectedly saw a Green Woodpecker today up at the back of Ingleton! Didn't realise they came this far north but apparently they do!!
Out headtorching on the Chevin with 3 club members last week and saw 3 deer, a Convolvulus Hawk Moth (very big) and then a badger. 2 of the folk had never seen a badger before - so it made their night.
Here's a Convolvulus I found in the back yard a few years ago...https://flic.kr/p/dfQp4F
And a Badger I filmed (using a head torch) from the same back yard…

Good stuff Andy. I've seen various Hawk moths before, but had to look this one up.
Red Squirrel up near Alston a couple of days ago...great to see.
Wish I could see one here, had a report of 2 spotted above the village in August, had a camera and feeder up there since but nothing yet. Unfortunately the forestry is due for felling this winter, so I really, really could do with a good photo to confirm their presence.
Anyone know anything about snakes?

Saw this little thing on the banks of the Danube last week in Bratislava. To give an idea of scale, that's a 2 Euro cent coin.
