I lifted the one stone up and found this sight....erm...and the various authorities say they have "relocated" all the newts....set of pricks.....how can they get away with it....there must have been over 20 newts under that stone..... The great crested was a male.... Where are the eco-warriors when you need them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 JD; Check out that forum we both know, mate. Someone there had similar recently - he saved the place. This looks like a time to call Natural England and the local media. Who's the MP? F*ck 'em; Don't just walk and let them get away with it, mate. Show the other face of us Field Sportsmen. Keep us informed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
