I go along with most of what you say there Diana, however, being out in the early hours for many years, I have noticed how much magpies have taken over the hedgerows, the Alkham valley has been swamped with them in recent years, while our regular native birds are disappearing. A few years back, a nature programme the wife had on showed an area down in the New Forest I believe, and a warden down there, had caught a couple of magpies in a boxlike trap, and after getting them out, promptly hit them over the head with some hammer. No, I don`t like seeing that, but it tells you something if park wardens are doing that. Like the immigrants, they`ll take over areas, the same thing. The grey squirrel has already ousted our red native species.
