As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Northern Ireland 'one of worst funded rural developments in Europe'

Posted on: 10 Jan 2014

The RSPB have said that the decision not to transfer any funds to Rural Development to Northern Ireland could be a complete disaster.

The administrations of Scotland, England and Wales have all decided to transfer funds of nine per cent, 12 per cent and 15 per cent respectively, thus helping to ensure the continuation of vital conservation schemes such as agri-environment. However, the complete absence of funds in Northern Ireland confirms it as one of the worst funded rural development programmes in Europe.
