Nature UK

Hi all,
Due to a recent relaunch of the BBC natural history web pages, I was
wondering what people in this group thought about it ?
It can be found at:

Any comments would be really good.
Thanks,

Pigeons and holly
Sat, 17 Nov 2007 23:34:57 +0100
An interesting sight on a freezing cold Friday morning - EIGHT wood pigeons
in the same holly tree stripping berries. There did not seem to be any
territorial aggro. so I wonder if they were related - this tree is a highly
favoured nest site for pigeons and other birds.

The plastic bag free town
Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:13:21 -0000
Interesting site about Modbury, the town that has banned plastic bags.
The video of a speech by Ray Anderson on the "Why and How to" page is
excellent.

Hi,
This subject was brought up on the Autumnwatch forum and I wondered what
other people's thoughts are on this debacle!

Accomodation near Rutland Water
Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:25:03 +0100
If you are going 'birding' or similar around Rutland Water I can recommend
the "Coach House" inn on the Morcott-Stamford road at South Luffenham.
Reasonably priced rooms and meals, well presented, newly refurbished (but
not smelling of paint). CLOSED Sunday 5pm to Monday noon (except by special
arrangement).

id Butterfly in Italy please.
Sun, 7 Oct 2007 20:24:17 +0100
On a visit to Italy (Napoli) I saw two butterflies which I would like
to identify.
The first was a white one, about the size of a Large White, but it
had dark lines radiating from it's rear end, where there was a dark
spot. It had the effect of faking it's position 180 degrees.
It was feeding on some small blo ...

Legal protection of red squirrels
Fri, 21 Sep 2007 07:31:59 -0700
Can anybody outline the maximum penalties for killing, injuring, etc a
red squirrel for me, please? I'd be even more grateful if you could
state the relevant legislation - as in "Wildlife & Countryside Act
1981, Section N.1.I.i" or whatever it happens to be. Sorry for the
detailed nature of the request but I wan ...

Truffles in the UK? In Oxford?
Sun, 16 Sep 2007 16:55:34 +0100
I've been digging these up from under Cobnut trees that I planted after
purchasing them from a nursery.
The soil has not been touched in nearly 20 years with no pesticides or
anything and it was only when I was putting in some spring flowering
bulbs a few weeks ago that I dug the first one up.
The smell gi ...
