I agree it’s a disaster for wildlife, all that work on positive net gain for nature on every development gone out of the window, people want nature on their doorstep. But I don’t read it that environmental NGO’s don’t stand to benefit, although I admit it’s more than a bit vague …

The obvious problem is that nature organisations stand to benefit from the bill and £££ to them speaks louder than those of us who enjoy nature on our doorstep

Thank you, that’s really helpful 👍

Thanks James that’s what iNaturalist said too but my photo looks more like the Stag beetle in my Insect guide (Paul Brock) 🤔

Sorted, I’ve requested a square in an area I know reasonably well

I tried to log in to register a few days ago but I couldn’t get past the ‘prove you’re a human’ test 😂 I’ll try again …

Wow 😍
