Hopper Bopper Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi guys Am i right in thinking that jays are corvids and therefore covered by the general licence? Many thanks HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpman Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yeah there corvids, thought they were named on the general license. Sure somebody will be along to correct me in a moment, fine looking bird Karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) Yep, all the details are via the BASC web-site. They're few and far between where I am, can go months without spotting one, so they're left in peace. Edit: Thinking about it, I suppose I'd better add that I've noticed your location.

Fisheruk Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Loads of them round here. I've shot a few pretty looking things too + 1 They keep raiding nests, just like the maggies. remember why you are shooting them though, need to comply with the licence. Wings are useful for fly tyers, but that is no reason to shoot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
