    i would like to make the point that i am not a shooter, just for the record, i prefer to give quarry a chance, that's why im a falconer. merely standing up for a fellow mans sport. Last week there was another (unpublicised) nest destroyed in Wales. on the tree there was marks suggesting tree...

    I agree with what your saying, but i HIGHLY doubt a keeper would kill a hen harrier or golden eagle as neither will regularly predate upon pheasent, grouse or other game. i fully understand when the carcasses or traps or whatever are found on or near estates. it just gets to me when something is...

    I don't really pay attention to any birds other than Bird of prey. the only reason i am doing this thread is because i was bored. This morning I thought I'd take some pictures of wood pigeons close up in my garden. So i put a Decoy pigeon on my shed (purchased for this reason, works very well if...

    To blame the shooting fraternity is utterly ridiculous. Granted game keepers are sometimes to blame, but not all the time. Bird watching is a bi-product of my sport/hobby, Falconry & Hunting and it boils my blood when people assume any sort of raptor crime is gamekeeper related, I'd say there's...

    Lake district HELP!

If not, how are the view points for taking pictures with a 400mm lens? whilst there im going to try get to Haweswater too for the Goldie. But...

    Poor buzzard. Info if poss

    i'd call you local wildlife crimes officer incase it is something to do with keepers, but looking at it, i doubt it. if i was you, i'd take it to a rescue center, preferably not RSPCA (will discuss why over pm if anyone wants to know) get a welding glove and pick the buzzard up by the legs, put...
