Looking specifically at Canna, if the rats were left alone and the
seabirds disappeared, how could there be a "balance" between them?


Initiall the balance would favour the rats but as their food source
diminished and there became fewer of them the birds would return but
there would be other factors involved as well as in all habitats.


Are you suggesting that the seabirds won't disappear?




Do you still claim that if the goats were left
to graze the woodland beside Loch Lomond they would eventually come into
balance with their habitat?


You're back into isolation. All wildlife populations rise and fall in
accordance with their habitat.


Looking this and your point above you seem to be suggesting that the
seabirds will not disappear and that the goats will reduce in number
without wiping out any species or doing permanent damage to the habitat.

Is this what you are suggesting?

Wow Angus I know you have difficulty with answering straight questions but you are really surpassing yourself here. It would have been easier to simply type yes or no.
