It all depends if you are yet another avatar of Pete the Troll again. If you are, yes, if you are not, no.

In article , Nick Maclaren
writes It is a pretty minor issue here, as maize is a fairly minor crop and it has no close wild relatives in the UK. I think it is on the increase, Nick. Round here we had acres of the stuff grown last year, for the first time that I can remember, and we have been here since 1971. -- Jane Ransom in Lancaster.

In article , Sacha
writes We've so over used pesticides, ripped out hedges, cleared ground cover that we have lost vast numbers of birds, butterflies, wild flowers - think DDT, alone banned, I think in 1947? When did you last hear a cuckoo? We hear them here every year, still. But no nightjars any more But I am ANTI GM, so don't think I am 'getting at you' )) -- Jane Ransom in Lancaster.

I wonder why we don't hear them in this part of England. We have a lot of woods and spinneys near us and plentiful other birdlife, too. Very peculiar. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |

Very peculiar. Comparative lack of meadow pipits, tree pipits, hedge sparrows, reed warblers, sedge warblers, pied wagtails, and robins? I haven't seen pipits or warblers but lots of sparrows and robins, a few pied wagtails, though not many. I didn't realise cuckoos were fussy as to which nests they usurped! This wouldn't account for others around here not having cuckoos but I wonder if our very noisy and busy rookery keeps them away. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |

They (FSVO they) have a list of about fifty species they will use as host for their pretty babies, but I don't think it's known whether any hen cuckoo will choose any of the fifty, or perhaps, just those which match the colour of her eggs. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
