It only takes minutes these days with social media for one I’ll informed person to raise a small army of other I’ll informed people to take matters into their own hands in the name of something they have no real grasp of. It is one of the reasons that I moved.

Well done to the police for having a bit of common sense. Frustrating how one or two self entitled people think they have a right to disrupt other peoples lives when it really is none of their business
"It’s a sad sad day" for humanity. Surprising thing is that the police told them to do one.
The human race is almost done now.

The pioneers of Nature photography were the Kearton brothers. Richard and Cherry Kearton were brothers from Thwaite, Swaledale, born in 1862 and 1871 respectively. They became famous as pioneers of wildlife photography with images of birds' eggs and nests, and developed solutions to the problems of such photography, especially the use of hides. Their books are well worth reading if just to become aware of how things have changed. In one of the books, they lament the spread of the new steam railways. It was predicted that the steam engines would disturb the sky larks, stop them breeding, and they'd become extinct.
In fact, wildlife is often extremely resilient and if a sky lark's nest is destroyed, it will probably lay another clutch in a more suitable place.

Punished for having green cover over winter. They won't make that mistake again. Outside of cropping now it sadly needs keeping at the same biological activity as the moon or those idiots will be back to cause more hassle.

Skylarks always hopping around on the ground?

If you read the article it says that the protesters were unable to point out any nests and the drivers said that they were willing to go around them if they saw them.
The astonishing bit about the article was the fact that the police evicted the protesters and banned them from returning for 3 months.

You can't destroy something that wasn't there! Several quotes say no evidence of any nests were seen, so no difference to them going home and mowing their lawn where no nest can be seen, I reckon as quoted they trespass to exercise their dogs their and don't want to lose the area.
Fair enough
Bet the tit wrote that while pouring milk on his cornflakes
