So... for those of us taking our cue from Pyrtle, just what is the proposed approach?

The basic proposal is that any game bird releases with 500m of a protected site will need a specific licence from NRW.

Full paper attached.

I note that "positive effects" from game management practices are held by the paper to include the control of generalist predators. To say that this is arguable is to understate the case to the point of absurdity.

The paper also makes it clear that the shooting fraternity does not comply with their current legal obligations, so it is obvious they will not comply with additional restrictions.

It is clear this is same old same old and nobody involved in the process has any intention of trying to achieve a positive outcome for wildlife.

The question that needs answering is actually "should Pheasant and Red-legged Partridge be on Schedule 9" and the reason it isn't being asked is that the answer is already known to be yes.

So it's just asking if Wales should follow Natural England's policy and licensing ,GL43. Don't need an expensive costly debate ( keeping the quangos in work ).......just follow suit and implement it instead of waffling on. Then spend the money saved by monitoring and enforcing the licensing laws, particularly as lead shot and shooting are not up for debate.
