Astonishing that there's no coverage of what's now a pretty major flood event across Argyll & Bute. Both of the main routes are closed with multiple flooding, mudslides & landslides, bus passengers overnighting in Lochgilphead High School & Oban folk taking stranded people in.

The final chapter in the nasty neighbours who tried to land grab a public footpath & were defeated by local residents. The locals massively increased their use of the path, making sure to be extra noisy resulting in the nasty neighbours putting their house up for sale - success!

The request to the Parish Council for one small area of grass to be left unmown has had four discussions over a period of 6 months with a mountain of information regarding the environmental benefits of longer, undisturbed grass. Here's the final response 🙄

I've been ruminating on stoats since
@GeorgeMonbiot
gave his rallying cry in support of the "spear like mouse" & having tiptoed in their wake for nearly 30 years I have a couple of observations to share. The first being their predation methods.

Currently sourcing out old photos of the village before regular grass cutting began - which appears to be mid to late 1960's - and love the former mosaic of grass lengths according to individual preferences.

Good luck! Also worth dropping a quick email to your local Parish Council & local County Councillor to move things along. I think a field edge path is supposed to have a width of 1.5 metres.

..so over 30 years on a12 acre site did the stoats really impact any one species. The answer is no, but a good healthy population of rabbits is probably key. Many summer prey items are simply to show kits that there's alternatives if you hit a problem in the rabbit supply chain.

When I worked for English Heritage I'd occasionally Whitby Abbey. The first few times I worked there, in the days before satnav, I thought that was the way in & drove both up & back down in my Mini 😳 I didn't know there was a road around the back.

I think this is a huge mistake, I've read the archeological reports & am in little doubt that this will negatively impact the surrounding archeology. Very disappointed that an organization whose remit is to protect England's heritage support this scheme.

... the female never over- predates an area. She'll take rabbits, in summer predominantly young rabbits. A clutch of bluetits. Perhaps some eggs. A young moorhen. Half a dozen voles. But as soon as she's impacting local population levels she will move to the next denning site...

I should add that this was the early 90's & I don't remember any signs saying you couldn't. I also drove over the wooden pedestrian bridge into Middleham Castle thinking there was a car park & towed a broken ride-on mower out of Helmsley Castle most, happy days.

..a different warren, different nesting birds etc. So the birds at the first location successfully rear a second clutch, the numbers recover in the first warren, the voles repopulate. Throughout the summer they rotate around their territory, leaving good population levels.

.. she's working out what is breeding where. She then investigates a number of denning sites - this is great as you can keep tabs on her all summer - which are within a reasonable distance of her prey species. The most important aspect of this is revealed next..

Went for a fungi wander only to find great tracts of them destroyed, caught up with a group of walkers merrily kicking & stamping all visible fungi. The reason given? They're toxic to dogs & they were destroying them to prevent any dogs ingesting them. Absolutely astonishing 😳

The kits are semi-independent by the end of July, but will be tolerated in the territory as late as November. Winter predation is all about rabbits, huge adult rabbits. Stoats will survive for days from one kill & rarely predate any other species.

Female stoats spend late winter & early spring marking out their territory prior to giving birth. An interesting behavior I've spotted quite a few times is a "stock check" whereby the female investigates every warren, birds nest, vole run in her patch. She doesn't predate..

One of the first productions I worked on was National Treasure. At the end of my first week I confided that I had no idea what I was doing, to which Robbie responded "don't worry, neither do I! Just look as if you know exactly what you're doing & you'll be fine ". Sound advice ❤️

What we do have is months of noise, off road vehicles speeding through the village, days when you have to stay indoors due to thick smoke from burning heather. There are many rural dwellers who don't support shooting
