@1GarethWynJones hmmm, not sure having grown up in rural Lincolnshire, and been involved with keeping badgers under control, (many years ago), there is the question about Hedgehogs, ground nesting birds, and anything else they can devour.
@ItsRileyTaylor@EnvAgency@wheat_daddy@peter_levy not a farmer, but grew up in the country, the drains and dykes were always cleaned out and water voles and wild life always survived and just got on with it#Ancholmevalley
