If you have wood full of squirrels, that's all you will have .
No nests will survive , no eggs will hatch & no birds will fledge , & the trees won't flourish.
Sometimes , to conserve wildlife , it's essential to manage the population of certain predators.

Scientific fact :
If I put 1 cow in a field that doesn't have TB then 1 infected badger used the same field the cow will catch TB from the badger
However, if the badger was shot before it had the chance to infect the cow , then the cow would not get TB
Culling doesn't and won't work to control bTB in cattle.
All that badger culling does is kill badgers.
We discuss government plans to continue badger culling indefinitely on

Scientific statistics indicate over twice as many badgers in uk as there are foxes .
We all accept that foxes need robust management, yet these murdering ,disease ridden wildlife killers get full protection,
Absolutely bonkers .
Think I know what is responsible for the predating of ground breeding birds nests where I’m watching cuckoos. Even the curlew has gone lower down the moor nearer the farm to get a brood away

Please explain how a closed herd ( no incoming cattle) can contract TB ?
Here's a clue ..... they can't,
Research / science / & facts ( not fantasy) prove that badgers give cattle TB , its really that simple .
Bovine TB is overwhelmingly a cow-to-cow spread disease. Our policymakers need to accept that fact and the science behind it.
Stop killing badgers.

Can't beat a scientific, in depth, well researched wildlife assessment investigation.
However , if you're pushed for time , simply do from a 70mph train 👍
Apparently, insects & songbirds that fill hedges & trees are easy to count from the 2.45pm intercity
This is what the English 'countryside', as seen from a train, looks like. Because it's green, I guess things look good. But look how empty of wildlife it is. Not a single bird visible. Not one. Massive swathes of our 'countryside' are just devoid of animals.
