We were baffled when one of our campaign banners mysteriously disappeared today, the very day when Mr Bannister was out shooting in the moor. Of course we were delighted to find it in one of his gun buses! HOW can it have got there? Delighted at this public spirited action against nasty thieves!

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the publication of Reflections. I reckon it’s a good book but then, I wrote it. It proposes that we should all be conservation investors rather than passive members/supporters. See what others think markavery.info/2025/07/04/r...
