My employer puts a lot of money into providing nest boxes, beetle banks, habitat, and crop rotations etc. to help birds like the barn owl, and struggling ground nesting species, when he could be making a lot more money. And I work hard to help them in the way that I know how, I try to tip the balance in their favour. If we are to let nature take it's course then should we all just stand back and give up on the Red Squirrel, Water Voles, Hedgehogs, grey partridge, et all?
