Wow that IS interesting! If it's true it would be great to know that the little guys are thriving in the middle of the downs.
Probably very low numbers so unsustainable  |

In this Green and Skeptic Isle nothing would surprise me too much,the vast majority of people don't notice what's right in front of them,last Sunday on the beach 40 or 50 people nearby,male and female peregrine in the sky for 20 minutes,no one noticed,even when the male passed a bird to the female in midair.Seen similar scenarios too many times.There's a golden eagle living wild in East Sussex,hardly anyone has seen it !,six foot wingspan !.There are large cats living wild in this country,wildcat or wildcat crosses would not surprise me at all. | | | |
