| I assume these are feral pigs and not wild boar. Even feral pigs can get a bit nasty, but wild boar are definitely best avoided. Hoping we don't get them in the woods as they are both destructive and ... |

| I was aware that rats were a problem, but didn't know about the ferrets or other birds. |

| We will have that in the spring here no doubt. Not sure they should be in New Zealand, but lovely to hear them. |

| Looks like a useful piece of equipment. One thing that strikes me is that it will work very much below zero C ambient temperature. Having lived with clean rooms that give up below zero C that is a maj ... |

| Some of the pictures I have seen have been amazing. I understand that even the best wildlife photographers aren't always sure what they have until afterwards. The best example of this was of the actua ... |

Sounds as if you at least need to keep an eye on Flash. If it doesn't heal within a few days, or if it looks infected the net might be an idea even if it upsets him.
We have seen quite a lot of ki ... |

| Rabbits have reduced a lot over the last 20 years since we had the woods. I think there have been several diseases; myxy and a hemorrhagic disease which has virtually wiped them out. We have seen a fe ... |

| Thanks for that guide Dpack. We have Harts Tongue Fern, Broad buckler fern, and a variation of it, Intermediate Polypody, Male fern, and bracken in the woods. |

| Well done. I agree about taking out the rhodi in the areas of trees, and perhaps more as it inhibits other plant growth. The only way I know of getting rid of it is to set Guides and Scouts on it for ... |

| You also have to look at things like energy and water use. Using modern technology, it is probably a lot more efficient to recycle a lot of things that would have used too much energy produced by foss ... |

| At present some of it probably is. More and more is being recycled I am glad to say. It is economics; if it is worth recycling then it will be. The higher the extraction cost for new material the more ... |
