Vaccinating badgers

Calshot Bank and Saltings, Hampshire

This proposed nature reserve on the banks of the Solent included shingle shore, saltings and mudflats. Since 1913 the area has seen developments including a power station and refinery at Fawley. However, areas of wildlife habitat still remain, particularly within the Hythe - Calshot Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and the Calshot Marshes Local Nature Reserve, which is managed by Hampshire County Council.
