Yes but the buzzards are a pest now i watched 4 pairs of lapwings lay eggs last year and the chicks hatched within a week there were 9 buzzards all walking around the field looking for the chicks not one survived they need controlling Mark Quote Link to post
martin 332 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 They may need controlling bud,but it is illegal to do so,and anyone shooting any bird of prey is looking at prison time,and losing their FAC or SGC as well. Martin Quote Link to post

d2bshane 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Mark@mmb it's not buzzards bringing down numbers of lapwings, it's irresponsible firearm owners not knowing enough feildcraft to know the difference between a lapwing and a mag pie! I no problem with gun owners, just those who are trigger happy to anything that moves regardless of wat it is! Quote Link to post
