This is disgraceful I liv next to a shooting estate and have a pair of Buzzards nesting within 150 metres of my home. they are great to watch add much to the countryside! Buzzards are indigeanous to England whereas Pheasants are not. How can DEFRA justify these actions! Who from the shooting fraternaty is lobbuing Defra. The RSPB MUST be more active in protecting the protected species
I quoted that this will bite them on the arse, and it has.More people than ever are becoming aware of what government are spending on there taxations.
This motion would have allowed gamekeepers to do legally what they are already doing illegally.
As it turns out they have already found a way around the situation here in Bowland by felling trees this week in the Whitendale valley where it is suspected at least one pair of Goshawks and one pair of Buzzards have nests with young. Who owns the land United utilities or the Duchy of Lancaster seems to make no difference. Nests destroyed, birds dead all legally achieved.
