Bad reports from Oats Royd  these bright evenings with half wits launching rafts and a canoe on the breeding ponds, 1 Moorhen and 1 Canada goose stoned and killed, 2 young Canadas so far surviving but very vunerable and several fires started with cider bottles and lighter fuel cannisters everywhere. The owner has been informed.
There has just been an organised deer cull down there to lower the herd from 14 to 4 because of tree damage but in my mind he,d have been better having a scumbag cull.
