[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7464378, member: 8735"] Unlike [USER=699]@Frank-the-Wool[/USER] above, I agree with the rivers bit most. I know some rivers here and in Herts well, and I know people - including farmers - who have known and fished these rivers since before the War. All tell the same story, the variety and number of fish stocks is down enormously from what it was, the biggest fall being from the late 1940s onward. The link to modern ag' methods and chemicals is plain, but few on here will admit even the bleeding obvious in this regard - it's like trying to talk to Labour politicians about the nexus between ethnicity and knife crime... it mustn't exist, so it doesn't exist, so they won't discuss it. 😐 The NFU are a bunch of f ^ c k i n g self-perpetuating, self-interested hypocrites, and are not even particularly effective in that capacity. It's no surprise that the alternative for the acronym is [B]N[/B]o [B]F[/B]'ing [B]U[/B]se In re swallows you are wrong, the numbers aren't coming. I've been in West and North West Africa and seen the nets set for swallows and other migratory birds, around water and on flight paths.
