Nearby, the Karas River is anything but a river – in this section, it is a water body that was killed by cutting off its curves, covering banks with rocks and concrete and forcing the former river to flow in the straight line. A lot of Mallard on the river, some Eurasian Coots and a few Common Goldeneyes.

Mr Kerridge says it is a misconception that cats kill a huge number of birds. Birds are a long way down a cat’s food chain so well-fed cats tend not to hunt at all, he says. Feral cats kill huge numbers of birds. Birds are, with reptiles amphibians, and mammals, the prey that feral cats kill.
