The removal of these animals from the ecosystem upsets the natural balance and leads to a loss of heavy-wooded large trees.
A combination of climate change and habitat loss caused a range wide decline of nearly 4% per year between 1985 and 2013.
Not a bird of garden feeding stations, unless your house backs on to a farm, but one that, when you see or hear one, tells you that you’ve arrived in rural Britain.
The beauty of the natural world is truly something magnificent to behold and a heritage that we seem to be struggling to conserve.
