The birds that blocked 20,000 new homes
Huge building development across 300 square miles of south-east England is frozen to protect three rare species: the Dartford warbler (Sylvia undata), the nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) and the woodlark (Lullula arborea)

I hope so, too. Never underestimate the power of rich developers, though. If they can find a way to build on anything and make a buck, they will....
I only hope the protection acts available in the EU are more resistant to such pressures than things seem to be going around here.
