I can't see where to put my not-that-exciting ramblings about red kites.

a dedicated wildlife topic would be handy Smile . It doesn't really go in pets / rural living / gardens.

Only 5 hen harriers left? That is shocking.

is science and nature the best place then?

The great outdoors seems to be aimed at camping & hiking types.

I've been considering starting a thread about raptor persecution, but wasn't too sure where. But anyway-now 5 hen harriers left in Britain. The males mysteriously vanish during nesting season, female has to abandon eggs or starve. Honestly, 5! What impact could they have now on bloody pheasant and grouse?

Those are good topics - so Thanks. I've sometimes wanted to talk about eg wild birds in the garden so they would be useful. (They might not be much used at the moment but that's all down to us isn't it?)

Hadn't seen that - perfect!

I honestly don't think wildlife needs a new topic.

There is also a science and nature topic.

I'd like that, too. The Great Outdoors is a bit broad, looking at it. Somewhere to post about stuff we've seen in our gardens and out and about. Our cats were fiddling about with a mole this week, I'd never seen one before and it was a lovely little thing - not exciting to most people but others might be interested.
