    Grey Squirrels wiping out Spotted Flycatchers?

    grey squirrels are much less carnivorus than (american) red squirrels who often kill nestlings and steal eggs, that said, greys occasionaly do take the odd nestling here or there, but they are hardly what id call a major predator of any animal species, save possibly for certain insects & grubs...

    Grey Squirrels wiping out Spotted Flycatchers?

    i think grey squirrel predation of songbirds might be a bit overblown, grey squirrels here (in their naitive range) rarely if ever predate songbirds or their eggs (something thats much more commonly done by our red squirrel) i cant imaginethat once their in the UK they become insatiable bird...

    UK 'U-turn' on marine reserves

    the uk reminds me of the maritime provinces of canada in this respect. both areas where overfished to the point of collapse and the governments did/do nothing till its too late. now the bay of fundy is almost devoid of cod and that fishery has collapsed. i can only think that this will happen...

    ferruginous hawk to be reclassified as an eagle?

    i just read that this might be the case, if it is reclassified, will be be an aquila or hieraatus?

    ID: Weasel or Stoat?

    looks like what we in the states call a least weasel, and since that species is the same as the british "weasel", the aforementioned ID is probably correct.
