A Mish-Mash of comments & pictures. Sometimes archery related but not exclusively. Not to mention WALKING a favourite pastime of mine

Bye Bye Nature?
We are about to have a new golf course situated between Newhall & Swadlincote on the former open cast site. A hotel is also going to be built. As to how much land will be taken up we have yet to find out, but there will be a cost to it all. Wildlife will be the first to be affected, Skylarks & Lapwings have nested there over the years
However, it would seem that the golf course will be a "Wooded" one as we are in the heart of the National Forest. Different perhaps. I shall try to keep a pictorial record on a monthly basis of the progress. I was talking to the Ecologist who was on site, he told me that over the past 5yrs there has not been much in the way of wildlife moving in other than the birds & a few Grass snakes. His words were "Surprisingly dead", there are quite a few golf courses in the area, I thought another would be overkill, but who am I to argue?
