@Mark08561111 Not true. Even in ecosystems where the larger predators are still present there is relatively little impact on otters. They’re a species which occurs at low density across a large home range. The only thing that’s different is we got used to life without them for 50 odd years.

I bloody love Common Shrews. How many other animals, to compensate for a lack of insect prey abut incapability to hibernate, shrink their brains and skulls over winter and grow them back the following spring? (Trapped and handled under the terms of the NE general license)

This is the first lit-up glow-worm of our project. In a room in my house, in old takeaway tupperware - but hopefully its descendants will be little green candles in our countryside. Since civilisation began, this animal has been symbolic of life & hope in the darkest of times.
