A dead badger on the roadside (Letters, March 1) is a familiar sight but it's not just badgers that die in this way.

March is also the worst month for foxes, hedgehogs and other small creatures as spring arrives. Birds are also nesting and searching for food and flesh-eating birds often find carrion by the motorways.

Traffic speed needs to be reduced to protect both man and wildlife. As we see more deaths each year on the roads, drivers should bear in mind the popular slogan "Kill Your Speed".
