Well said Jan-Marie and I was just about to apologise for my rant. The thing is, the scale of the destruction didn’t hit me until I actually stood there with the camera. Then as I travelled further up the road I could almost have shed a tear for the poor displaced pheasant calling from beneath the few trees that are left in a factory car park next to a newly built discount supermarket. If this was just a one off then it wouldn’t be so bad, but the same scale of development is being repeated just a few more miles down the road in every direction. Like you say, the ones responsible for the reckless relaxation of the planning laws and wildlife destruction on an industrial scale will never be held accountable. How dare we lecture other countries on the destruction of their precious rain forests and endangered species, whilst we are busy obliterating our own on our doorsteps.
Oooops!…sorry for the second rant!
