timmytree Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Did anyone see Springwatch with the woodpecker killing the treecreeper chick? I wonder how life in the raw went down with the idiots in the RSPB. Will there soon be calls to convert woodpeckers to a vegetarian diet?

Tonight it showed sheep and fallow eating lapwing and ground nesting bird eggs. But only the sheep seemed be be blamed due to the volume we farm... They also said muntjac do also eat eggs.

Not to mention, stoats, weasels, foxes, mink crows, magpies etc. plus when the young hatch every bird of prey including the controversial red kite that is (allegedly) destroying field fare birds like finches etc at an alarming rate.

I've seen footage of a muntjac eating a nightjar chick, I can't for the life of me work out where from though. Google was no help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough none of the above got mentioned, it was sheep, deer and a cock pheasant shown.. I was hopping channels and they were talking of the lapwings nesting etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so wrapped up in anti shooting political lobbying, increasing their land holdings and making money..........as I T Botham said "they forgot about the birds" Well said! (Hi! Haven't seen you for a while...in the good old CSB0 days with Graham!) A RSPB activist trapped me in B&Q Kidderminster. He started off by saying Britain had a 56 million shortage of starlings, etc. I will refrain from stating my response; he was not pleased.
