As a matter of interest next time you see a large white bird it may not be a white Heron or Egret.  5 Spoonbills, 1 adult and four young, were seen and photographed on a Worcestershire Gravel pit last
week.

Some interesting stuff on the below link if you have not seen it.

Much of the usual self congratulatory unsupported stuff and the usual give us the money and we will do the job for you etc etc etc..
My attention was drawn by someone to question 21 regarding the prospect of Aguaculter licencing in Wales.
WUF have answered YES to this question whilst adding some caveats.
Nevertheless the question of salmon farms all over the world has shown to be a death knell in various degrees to native salmon populations and yet they would agree to risk this in Wales.   Unbelievable.

See second item down for full questionaire.


Question 21 ‒
Do you agree with our proposals to introduce a fit for purpose licensing regime for aquaculture? Please consider whether there are any other functions you think the license should cover.
Yes

Comments
Yes. If a proposal to produce farmed salmon or sea trout in sea cages was ever considered, then the lessons learned from Ireland and Scotland should be taken into account. Namely, the problems of sea lice, toxic chemicals, escapees and degraded fish food waste and faeces which has degraded marine environments and extinguished or reduced migratory fish runs on their west coast(s) should never be allowed in Wales.
Sustainability criteria should form part of the licencing procedure. For example, aquaculture dependent on pelleted food from unsustainable fishing practices (e.g. sand eel fishery) should not be permitted in Wales.
