Heathfield GP

A planning application has been posted for this site. It is intended to build 10 log cabins and an office. The site will be used for 'diving/sailing/fishing' and is described/marketed as a 'nature reserve development' presumably because it will have a nature trail! It may not have attracted many rarities of late but it is a good site for birds at all seasons and the semi natural grassland is rich in insect life and covered with marsh orchids in summer. The reference for the application is 08/0903/PA and any comments/complaints etc should be sent to the Director of Development by 5th December. I hope there is a wildlife body or persons in the county that can influence matters for the benefit of wildlife.

On a lighter note, I have British Birds vols 67-95, unbound, free to good home. Contact me if you're interested. Oh and there's a Green Sand on my pond virtually daily.
