From late October to November, huge flocks, sometimes tens of thousands strong, can be spotted flying south on clear, autumn days, while others stay in the UK year-round.

While saying they want to "preserve nature" the Conservative Party have just pledged to scrap the Climate Change Act.
This makes no sense.
How do more floods, more droughts, and rising temperatures "preserve" nature?
That's what scrapping the Act will lead to.
