A good subject and something I’m quite intrigued by is how fast nature is reclaiming it’s rightful place in the world, goats in the streets of wales, dolphins in Italian harbours swans on the canals of Venice, it’s happening as we speak so would make a good topic I think 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somewhere I would love to go have been inthralled by its recovery since it happened, watched a program about dormice there some years back, doormice the world over have two litters a year to maintain the balance but in the contamination zone they have five litters to compensate for the amount of deformity and infant death leading to exactly the same survival rate at the end of the year as every were else 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
