Big piece on 'Farming Today' this morning on Radio 4 about it: v funny - NFU aren't happy about it at all, and even started having a go about RSPB endangering the red data passerines (Corn Bunts) already there!!

The BBC report stated that Black-winged Stilts had never bred in the UK, obviously one of the deliberate mistakes which always go with bird reports in the media.

I believe the proposed developments would result in a habitat twice the size of Lakenheath and look what was achieved there! Visionary.
