Public Inquiry Poll - Which is your favourite wild creature?

The peregrines at the harbour used to nest in the old power station chimney and had to move on when that was demolished. I though they then pitched up on top of Sussex Heights (or wahtever the big blck of flats atop the Bedford Hotel is called)

There is a nest box on the new chimney. Peregrines breed every year. A Peregrine was seen there a few days ago.

Hawks hovering by roads are Kestrels.

Black Redstarts are found all along the coast, including the New Monks Farm area. They quite like development sites. They began to spread after World War II, favouring bomb craters and demolished partially derelict areas like harbour wharves.

I am dreadfully concerned about the effect that floodlights have on badgers.

If they (Brock the Badger) start digging holes in the pitch. Call in the DETR extermination squad!
