The Natural History Unit funding?
Tue, 06 Nov 2007 19:56:57 GMT
Hi,
This subject was brought up on the Autumnwatch forum and I wondered what
other people's thoughts are on this debacle!
My email to POV at the BBC is quoted below.
With reference to the above department and it's expected massacre of
funding, I would like to remind the BBC why I, my friends and relatives ...

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 ...

Hawk moth
Mon, 10 Sep 2007 17:17:49 +0100
I found what I believe was a Convolvulus Hawk Moth on the golf course in
North Cornwall this morning. A beautiful little creature that was
resting on a patch of grass waiting for the sun to gather strength, or
so I thought. How common are they in the UK. Last year i found a dead
Oleander Hawk Moth in the road ...

Willow tree growths
Sun, 9 Sep 2007 18:10:32 +0100
On local willow trees there are numbers of dark coloured
growths. I know that birch trees get these, but they look
different. The birch trees seem to sprout a new set of shoots
at an uncommon place.
These dark growths seem dead to me.
I looked closely at one. The twig leading to the growth was
about 1 cm. lo ...

Two of us spotted something like this perched on
a leaf away from water:

However, I cannot be sure this is that same one.
We both agree on 4.5 cm length, which made it
so noticeable.
Neither of us have noticed them that small.
Our area was in the North Midla ...
