David BASC Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 European white-fronted goose remains on the quarry list after BASC intervention Post Author:The Greenland white-fronted goose had been originally removed following a complaint to the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA) that England and Wales were not protecting the species from hunting, despite a successful moratorium by wildfowling clubs. Some groups called for the removal of the European white-fronted goose as well due to their near identical features. However, following BASC’s evidence-led consultation response, the decision has now formally been taken that only the Greenland race will be removed. BASC’s response recommended the retention of the European race as quarry because of their robust population level, the general spatial separation of the two species across England and Wales and the successful moratorium for the Greenland race over the years. https://basc.org.uk/european-white-fronted-goose-remains-on-the-quarry-list-after-basc-intervention/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedward Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 How about getting wood pigeon on the quarry list instead of coot or moorhen ? While obviously still retaining their pest status, bit like Canada geese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
