Re the rest;Whilst I can understand your concerns and frustrations, it always concerns me when people who are effectively on the same side bring fights into the public domain.  No one here can comment on the background of individual cases so the airing is merely a case for bashing all work done by a large organisation or organisations.  Whipping up anti sentiment to such organisations is a last case resort to me.  Maybe you feel you have reached that.  No one ever gets it right 100% of the time, and it does sound like some bad decisions may have been made from your quote above.  On the other hand I have seen good things done by the RSPB many times, and I still support them.  As a quasi governmental organisation, Natural England has many pressures and issues to deal with as well.With regards to Radipole, Luke on here obviously has some connection with Radipole at the moment as well as an interest in the flora as well as birds on the reserve, so may be a good person to take things forward on a better front at the reserve in the future.  Good luck,</blockquote>
