Right to roam? Well, up to a point
  • 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.

  • Ban on wet wipes containing plastic unveiled to help UK’s rivers
  • 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....

  • Help identifying a birdsong

    I heard this bird today that I didn't recognise. There's probably a birding lemmy but I thought I'd try here first. The audio quality sucks but its a continuous warble that decreases in pitch over about 2 seconds.

    New Biodiversity Law Mandates 10% Net-Gain for UK Housing Developments
  • 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.

  • Much of England’s ‘national landscapes’ out of bounds, say campaigners
  • 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.

  • Spiralling deer population 'devastating' UK nature - prompting calls to reintroduce wolves and lynx
  • 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.

  • Best practice for this kind intersection? (see comment)
  • What's the speed of the road? I would personally join the road earlier so that I can manoeuvre across with the traffic, but if the road is super fast I'd probably pick A. That is unless right on red is permitted, then I'm not sure.

  • Tory MP Calls For More Wild Animals To Be Killed
  • If cows are used for conservation grazing, isn't the problem of them getting TB non existent? The problem is people catching TB from cows through milk and close contact, not cows catching TB from badgers.

    [OC] Some caterpillars from my garden
  • I keep a few ragwort plants alive in my garden and they almost always get eaten to the ground by cinnabar caterpillars. I grew up around horses and was taught to abhor it, but a small amount of research suggests it's not as bad as the horse and farmer associations would have you believe.

  • Boston result

    I just watched the Boston game and just want to say how enjoyable the ending was. I honestly didn't think they had it in them.

    VAN - STL guess the score

    Anyone want to hazard a guess at the score tonight? Nothing automated or recorded. I think 3-3 with an OT win for the Canucks.

    My houseplants make my living room

    I'm so happy with these guys. Sometimes it feels like hard work to keep on top of but it's worth it in the end.

    Meet Possum.

    My wife and I can't have our own dog so we look after as many dogs as we can. This is my sister's, Possum. She's not often playful so when she gets like this we make the most of it.
