Lord 'Beefy' Botham guest edits on R4 Today programme today.

Listening to Botham who talked very sensibly and openly about his shooting and in particular grouse moors.  He was particularly scathing about the totally false notion that grouse are 'released' to be shot, and that 'rewilded' moors benefit wildlife.  He was in fact very clear in explaining how a well kept keepered moor with regular burning was a great benefit to wildlife including raptors.

Most shooting people know this but it takes someone with a high profile like Beefy  to try and get it across to the public.

with all the snow and frost that we have had in the last few weeks i wonder how many birds and other wildlife have benefitted by shoots planting cover crops bet 

Cwiss and his team are not telling the public that 😡

Sadly , will not make 1 iota of difference, the great sheeple have been sucked in and now don't rate the facts or truth relating to anything?
