Rat-get rid before it becomes several rats and finds way into house then your problems will really start!

Nant y arion is definitely the best for price and varied views, Also one at Llanduesant near Usk reservoir. Plenty of kites in Carmarthenshire/Ceredigion which oven quarter the ground on the hill tops but no hides.

If these organisations put as much effort into stabilising the existing wildlife populations rather than chasing headline grabbing reintroductions of species which may or may not find enough natural food would be a better way forward. In the film the birthing ewe had a couple of problems before...

Don't know about go pro but with lumix in 4k at 25fps it is only where there are 3 consecutive identical frames that the middle one will be sharp enough for still extraction. At 180 fps I have never looked but as only in HD don't think they would be much good. I don't think its possible to get...

wrong to put people in categories. There are good and unfortunately bad in any group. It mostly comes down to common sense (not very common) and consideration coupled with a little tolerance. As a photographer i have met experienced birders who could behave much better and photographers who are...

Go back about 30 years and the paid for hide did not exist but nature photography was not that popular and every body knew most of the other photographers, who worked their own patch, doing all the field craft and constructing hides as required. Often you would work with someone else or trade...

Which country? slightly different rules for England and wales.dont know about Scotland. They are issued but you may need 2 referees who have already had permits or regarded as experienced enough to say you are competent. They may also require doc evidence of competence i.e. photos taken at nest...

Thanks Janny fox. I was thinking of Devon as a whole and did not realise the difference between Dartmoor and Exmoor regarding deer. All fallen stock is the responsibility of the owner, who,if proven not to have dealt with it may loose all or part of their farm payment. Deer, unless ear tagged...

It is based in the tregaron area and unlikely to venture further than Ceredigion and carmarthenshire. This is a single bird and not the eagles apparently seen and photographed in Snowdonia. There are are a lot of wild deer on dartmoor which die from time to time and are not subject to the same...

<div data-xf-p="1">Carrion is part of their natural diet</div><div data-xf-p="1"></div> It certainly is and is plentiful in the form of natural deer deaths in Scotland. However apart from a few naturalised goats it is not so plentiful in the hills of wales particularly as any dead sheep are...

Trouble is that there is unlikely to be enough of the normal prey to sustain a viable population so they will turn to anything they can eat including lambs and carrion.

There has been a single golden eagle (believed to be an escape) which has been flying above the hills of west wales for about 6 years.

Skomer island is probably best for puffins although further south but you get about 4-6 hours on the island for about half the cost of the Farnes with many more puffin opportunities plus a few other species. The foot path passes right through the colony and the puffins will cross in front of...

really no comparison as entirely different. SS has peregrines,ravens and choughs on very high steep cliffs with whinchats and stone chats in the gorse and heather with 24 hour access. Farnes have terns,shags,puffins ,eider ducks etc etc but limited to a couple of hours access and a lot more...

Our local one has only just hatched after the first nest burrow was squashed by a passing tractor mounted grass cutter. When the female is on eggs you sometimes have to wait an hour or more before one comes into view.
