Reintroduction of Wolves to save Nightingales

I came across two Roe Deer opposite the Beehive pub in Whitley Bay and it reminded me of a recent article citing deer as a major threat to Nightingales. Bringing back Wolves would make ecological sense. It would certainly bring a new dimension to the British countryside.

Imagine coming across this in Kielder Forest

Oh, and I found this drake Mandarin today.

Okay, so it's a plastic duck, but it's on my patch (flash by the Beehive pub) and it's new for my list.
