Later I saw a single song thrush and wondered if her brood had been hit. This whole fiasco is doing the song bird population untold damage. Over this weekend I watched a sparrowhawk take all three young robins and a young dunnock they have only been out the nest two days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun eddy Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Oxford area, he's fine with us shooting when they r destroying it like they do every year, but I'm unsure what I need to do, to basicly carry on as normal someone was saying I need to apply for a individual license to control pigeons now when needed, have you had to do anything, and have you been out since it all started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not need to apply for individual license for pigeons…https://basc.org.uk/gl/ I will be taking the kit in the link with me, I have put a string banger on the fields today, tomorrow I will put the bags and hawk kite out, but not where I intend shooting, and I will take some picture…https://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/388168-pigeon-scareing-equipment/?tab=comments#comment-3553214 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new general licence available allowing them to be shot, just read the licence thoroughly, make sure you understand it and follow what it says.
