DEFRA who are blocking native species from being released have now will allow thousands of nonnative birds to be released into protected areas without licence.
How deeply depressing and sadly typical.

What an amazing/bonkers day running The Grizzly. Congratulations AxeValleyRunners! I raised >£2k for Bowel Cancer UK, so being thigh-high in water, not to mention 20 miles of mud, hills and pain was worth it! justgiving.com/page/fiona-mat… #cancer

2 years ago today, a surgeon was cutting a cancerous tumour ('Constantine'--after Kermit's evil twin) out of my bowel. On Sunday, Fiona Mathews will be running the Grizzly--20 miles of mud and craziness--in aid of Bowel Cancer UK. Please donate if you can. justgiving.com/page/fiona-mat…

Fantastic morning in the Forest of Dean with Fiona Mathews & Tim Kendall. Podcast of three humans failing to find a Wild Boar coming soon! Did find muchly trotter-pokes, piggy-fluff and rootle-puddles (technical terms), and seemingly proof that they’ve mastered wire-cutters!

As a newbie to writing, I am baffled by how other authors manage to get thousands of book reviews on Amazon (if you know the secret, please tell me🤔: apparently it's important!). So I was delighted to see this review of Black Ops and Beaver Bombing today. Thanks Big Pappa!

Two years ago today, I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer. After surgery/chemo, I'm currently clear. Fiona Mathews is now running the Grizzly (it's like a marathon but with a bad attitude) to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK. Please donate. Thank you! justgiving.com/page/fiona-mat…

Echoes of the Post Office in Sheffield Tree Scandal: a public authority misleads courts, who credulously accept what the authority tells them & grant injunctions to jail & bankrupt ordinary citizens desperately trying to do what is right & prevent unnecessary destruction of trees

It's likely that boar will be extirpated from the UK - our various Governments are waging a war against them. I read yesterday that Stourhead Estate (near Underhill) is to eradicate its population.

Fiona Mathews and Tim Kendall lift the lid on this issue, in this..

'And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth.'

alex thomson Everybody needs to read Fiona Mathews and Tim Kendall’s Beaver Bombing book - in the face of our increasing flood risk, the single most vital (and good value) reintroduction nationwide is the beaver. They make the case powerfully, eloquently and with jokes.
