islandgun Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Watching Scottish TV this evening a piece about Scottish Natural Heritage considering licensing the shooting of ravens to protect nesting waders, there were some lovely scenes with the voice-over describing the life, sight and sound of the beautiful Curlew, sadly the footage was of a Lapwing..

It's about time organisations such as SNH, NRW and NE challenged the protectionists! Controlling predators is vital in conserving waders such as Curlew, Golden Plover, Lapwing etc! The fact that the TV luvvies don't know the difference between a Curlew and a Lapwing doesn't surprise me in the least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our township has a licence for raven control. mostly for lambing time, SNH must be looking at Ravens re wader predation, especially when you consider the amount of money spent in these Islands on Mink extermination over the last twenty years, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
