Farmers cry wolf as predators attack flocks in Europe
There are estimated to be close to 18,000 wolves living wild in Europe and in many areas their numbers are growing - but a controversial referendum in Switzerland this weekend could cement a law that would see the predator's numbers being more tightly controlled by shooting.

Switzerland referendum: Voters reject end to free movement with EU
With all votes counted, nearly 62% people have said they want to maintain the pact with the EU.
www.bbc.com
"In addition, voters narrowly approved a government plan to buy new fighter jets, and blocked a revision of Switzerland's hunting law which would have made it easier to cull protected species such as wolves."

I have Swiss farming friends from college days. I know they’ve been campaigning on the wolf issue-shame it’s not passed.

Ben with the billionaire daddy wants to have red deer, wildcats, beavers, native pigs and cattle on his 300 ac farm? That’s not wilding, that’s just an outdoor zoo.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct site set for improved visitor experience
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was recognised as a world heritage site in 2009.
www.bbc.com
"But the plan outlines the "necessity to improve the existing insufficient visitor offers and infrastructure at Trevor Basin to meet the needs and expectations of visitors and serve the communities surrounding the [world heritage site]".
Work will include more parking, a new visitor centre, rewilding of some land, a treetops walk and the creation of of a campsite."

Presumably that just means stopping trying to manage some difficult to manage land (ie steep land)?

Maybe they should purchase the farms required to this then! It seems that it’s ok to tell others to destroy their assets as long as it doesn’t interfere with my wealthCall to 'rewild' parts of our National Parks | ITV News

We’ve got ‘something’ on the Bushnell trail cam tonight that I can’t identify. A deer, yup, a vixen and a wabbit - but coming up the track, not down summat else which despite screen grabs and fiddling with light / dark, I just don’t know.
Too long legs for what I was looking for.
A white curly stripe down its back. No horns that I could see. Goat? Dunno. But possibly claws in one front foot. We’ll look again tomorrow. The pic was taken towards a very light sky, so not as clear as if fully dark. Twilight, against a hedge.
