What a beautiful little guy - he looks smaller than a fist however. Maybe a baby fist.
I'm glad they acknowledged those poor people who used to inhabit the area & the conservation is hopefully going to make a difference.

Thanks loads for sharing this story & photo.

edit - looks as if Graehstone missed this thread & posted about the same thing today!
