moonlighter 1,164 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 It makes you think. Grouse moors are miles from any where so I wonder how they knew about the traps to set up cameras! Quote Link to post
ferreterjohn 0 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 It makes you think. Grouse moors are miles from any where so I wonder how they knew about the traps to set up cameras! the trap was a ladder trap, and an anti didnt knw wat it was for so put a hidden camera up, to see what he was catching, would be legal if he didn't use a live pigeon, it is actually legal to kill a bird of prey, if he accidiently caught it and it injuried it self and was inhumane to let the bird go (for e.g. bleeding from scalping its self, broken feet). but to intentially caught them then yes it is illegal Quote Link to post
ratattack 111 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 It makes you think. Grouse moors are miles from any where so I wonder how they knew about the traps to set up cameras! You can see plenty grouse moors in derbyshire from the side of the main roads! Plenty heather burning etc visible. This guy is obviously not very discrete in his daily activities...no-one can see me out here it will be fine sort of mentality. All it takes is one bunny hugger/RSPB member etc to be walking across a moor and see the trap then go investigate and hey presto you end up like that guy!! :wallbash: Quote Link to post
logun 91 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 i often think about the relation ship the rspb and our birds have in common.think the rspb lost track of its true values now and became a business.money turn over keeps them going and i think the buiness side got no relation to what the rspb should stand for..some raptors may be uncommon to them, but others birds soon to follow if its to continue as it is...why should someone take the time and cost to establish,, say a new grouse shoot when some hawk decides to kill all thats there. the feeding of pheasants etc plays a huge roll in the wild bird population in this country and without them the likes of yellow hammer etc would soon be gone .. i found a nesting pair of goss this spring,but also noticed a decline in the other birds in the area.and seen a goss kill a female sparrow hawk,some thing that i would never see again,but some do need to be controled for the long being of other birds..buzards for intance are strugling to feed near me. nothing wrong with birds of pray ,but lets keep them to levels that dont decline other birds and at the mo the ballance out weighs other birds 3 Quote Link to post

Bobba_fett 117 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I agree with logun, the rspb need to stop hunting down keepers and worry about their reserves. you think they would wonder how it is that there are so many birds of pray around shooting estates and very few on the own ground. its because we control crows, stoat and fox ect which leads to an abundance of other birds and animals for them to eat. if they would take their heads out their arse's they could see that, but this doesn't agree with their idea's on how the country side works. if they would take this aproch then made some time down the line keepers could be able to conrol birds of pray where they are doing harm to sporting intrests.

I agree with you mate, with that they should stop hunting down keepers, but the reason birds of prey are so abundant on shooting estates are that it is a like all you can eat buffet. im sure most birds of prey feast on game birds than any other animal because there an easy dinner Quote Link to post
