You are probably right that bluebottles spread disease from the excrement. I will Google it. I suppose the consequences depend on what disease the excrement may have, where the bluebottles go next, and how and to what or whom the disease may be spread. I didn't say the bluebottles weren't spreading disease. I said they were eating the excrement. It's an important part of nature keeping things in equilibrium, otherwise the earth would be covered in shit. I don't see bluebottles around anywhere else, except on dog mess, so I don't know where they could be spreading disease to, but that doesn't mean they aren't. You may well be right, again, about a few people feeding foxes, but how do you know people are feeding these things you mention to foxes? Have you seen them doing it? Again, I'm not saying they aren't, but I've never seen anybody feed a fox, nor to the best of my knowledge do I know anybody who feeds foxes. Yes, obviously "urban" foxes were not here before humans, for obvious reasons. But foxes would have been, when it was woods and countryside, before London expanded. They have just as much right to be here as us. More, probably. And it's a forum. For discussion. If people agreed on everything or didn't ask for more information, there would be no forum. Why shouldn't I question what you and others say? I was taught to question things. Unquestioning acceptance has led - and is still leading - to a lot of evil and misery. If everyone just accepted everything they read or heard, as you seem to be telling me to, the world would be in a worse mess than it already is. There's a massive amount of false information being put around on social media and elsewhere, a lot of it deliberately. I'm not saying yours comes into that category. If memory serves, you also have quite a track record, but it's of posting statements on this forum which you can't back up, and it isn't just me who questions them. Apologies to everyone else for the long post. Back to foxes! -
Yeah, seen cormorants in the pond at Peckham Rye and Dulwich Park, there are lots around. -
