      Sperm Whales.

      That'll confuse them (the developers, not the whales obviously), and cost an absolute fortune to remove.

      Getting them there might be tricky, but when I were a nipper, we'd head down t'beach with a jam jar on a piece of string...
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        Orchids

        What a coincidence! Someone might have been doing some of their own cultivation of wild Orchids not so far from me in a place I really like to ride my bicycle.

        And would you have it, but luckily many new ones were discovered shortly before some building was to take place in the late 1990s.

        And the more they look, the more they appear to be spreading, with new species just appearing every year. Although it is true that many orchid species live underground for years and only flower rarely (although some now appear to flower every year...)

        No inferences should be drawn that I am expert in the cultivation of orchids.

          Foxes?

          They've got the advantage of being properly mammalian and looking cute, thus providing you with advantages in the area of publicity.

              I'm no expert, but I suspect that any sperm whale appearing on a greenfield site in the UK would be a little confused - although the pot of geraniums that appear along side it, is used to that sort of thing
              I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

                True. We live in Greenwich and my dog is fascinated by them - we normally see one or two on our evening walk.
