Maxus Hunter Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Just read in the basc magazine that pochard r now on the red list and will be protected from December this year, any1 else hear anything about this and is it true, I shoot lough neagh and shoot pochard most weeks so it will be a big lose, hopefully only a temporary measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holloway Posted July 11, 2018 Report Share Posted July 11, 2018 Sadly very seldom is it a temporary measure they almost never get back on again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushandpull Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I think you will find it's a bit more complicated than that if you study the rest of the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarrett Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 As far as l am aware the protection of Brent geese in 1953 was a temporary measure until numbers recovered. Once it's gone it's gone! Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
