Stonehenge and its Environs

Rocks?

dead raptors ( http://www.rspb.org.uk/england/north/action/stoppoisoning.asp ). The strange thing is I'm particularly keen to see strong populations of Ring ousel and Skylark, up there, and they are also prime prey species of these hen harriers.

Attitudes to game conservation and attitudes to stone conservation, in local people, seem to mirror. Conservation is conservation, it seems, whether it is of ancient relics or a living creature.

I've recently heard about dozens of peregrine falcons being shot in Ireland - while they're crossing the country on their way to the city to breed. Apparently pigeon fanciers are fed up of their birds being picked off by the falcons. I like pigeons but that is ridiculous. Local news also gave a load of airtime to some whingers round here who wanted Something Done About the Peregrines. FFS. It's amazing we have any wildlife left at all.
