An interesting article but also pictures that show the difference between a rural born Great Chick and one born in a Botanic garden, they are the same age.

Interesting and worrying article, but on reflection it makes sense of course. We really must consider our wildlife more in the future. Thanks Littlewid.

I must admit I've never thought about the affect that non native trees would have on the breeding process of Birds such as Great, and Bue Tits, hopefully park authorities will take notice of this research, and plan their future planting plans accordingly
