Super city animals
Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common for wild animals to be seen in UK cities. The urban fox became established in the 1960s, and has now been followed by other wild animals, including badgers and peregrines. Birds such as tawny owls, greater spotted woodpeckers and woodpigeons seem to have adapted to the urban environment very effectively, and comorants are commonly seen around inland lakes, gravel pits and rivers. Animals tend to enter cities through railway lines, canals and sewers.

The lure of the good life
Article Abstract:
There is growing demand in the UK for properties which have the potential to be run as smallholdings. Modern technology now allows many people to work from home, and they can therefore live in the countryside, combining their work with living partly off the land. Smallholdings also attract people who have taken early retirement and want to remain active and those who seek a safe environment for their children and are prepared to commute long distances.
