00:00 This is one of the last remaining unspoilt areas of Fannet,
00:05 where all the wildlife from the rest of Fannet
00:08 has been pushed out by the developments,
00:11 has come to because it's the last place they can go to.
00:15 - And you've recorded dozens of species here.
00:17 - Probably on not this bit of ground,
00:21 but the bit of ground that I look after,
00:24 probably over 140, 150 species of birds,
00:27 most of them on the red list.
00:29 As we see earlier, when we drove along,
00:31 two turtle doves, which are massively in decline.
00:35 - And what do you think it will do to the habitat
00:38 if National Grid are successful with this?
00:39 - Oh, it's devastate it.
00:42 Not only will it devastate it,
00:43 you're gonna have a hundred foot building,
00:45 so you wouldn't see that windmill behind us.
00:49 That, those trees over there, it's a triple SSI.
00:53 It's full of wildlife.
00:54 It's full of birds that are really susceptible
00:57 to disturbance like long-eared owls.
01:00 They're all protected species.
01:02 You know, in the winter, when it's high tide or bad weather,
01:07 all the waders from Pegwell Bay come onto this ground
01:11 because this ground floods in the winter to feed and shelter.
01:14 It's a massive oasis for wildlife.
01:16 Everyone said to me, "You're wasting your time.
01:20 It's a national infrastructure project.
01:23 It's green energy.
01:24 How can it be green energy
01:26 when they're gonna destroy all this?"
01:28 And I, whether I get anything done, you know,
01:32 whether I'm successful making them put the pylons
01:34 under the ground, at least I've tried.
