The next paragraph says:

The group said this has resulted in improvements to native woodlands, including natural regeneration, whilst at the same time facilitating moorland management.

Nothing like a land owner explaining to those who have very little why they should be happy with what they are given. She makes a good point that people are irresponsible, but that's due to a lack of education. Ignorant people will go wherever they want anyway.

It's a perfect example of how lobbying and misinformation can be so difficult to overcome. The impact of 'flushable' wipes is known and significant yet rules aren't put in place to stop it. I wonder why....

Thanks! It's strange, we have loads of blue tits in our garden and I swear I've not heard it before.

Great, thanks for the app suggestion and the effort!

I'm amazed anything has caught with how wet it's been.

Unbelievable! There must be a way to track this down.

I'd argue (without any data to back it up) that most of those second homes are in places that are not economically viable places to live (rural, seasonal towns etc.)

Personally I'd say the solution is higher density housing near cities where there are jobs and current infrastructure. These immense satellite towns that stink of American suburbia are the worst case scenario and only serve to line the pockets of shitty companies like Taylor Wimpy etc.

Well, it's kind of obvious. They've had lots of close wins and a few blowout losses. Maybe it's a tactic, if you go down by a couple, give up and save energy for the next one haha.

Yeah, I was being a bit unfair and it seems to depend on location. And yes, make it clear and there won't be a problem, but having the problem to complain about gives them credence to the removal of public rights of way.

Even the areas where there are rights of way, private land owners make it as difficult as possible to follow them.

If they can cull deer in Richmond park I think it can be done safely in most places. If the population is that rampant then the introduction of wolves and lynx would end up causing a spike in predator populations in short order that may force them to find food closer to humans as well, which would then lead to the need to cull the predator species. I'd expect that a cull would be required if predators are introduced to start everything off in a balanced state.
