It is always good to see the positives but maybe the RSPB is overly-optimistic if it thinks nature in 'on the mend' - not when populations of so many bird species remain in precipitous decline. This report in today's edition of The Daily Telegraph is largely based on successful reintroduction initiatives with two mammal species, beaver and water vole, and improved breeding of corncrakes in Scotland and of seabirds (notably puffins and Manx shearwaters) on the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel.
