RatSniper 19 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 It is illegal to shoot birds under the lamp apart from feral's in man made buildings. Quote Link to post
ArchieHood 3,692 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Taken from BASC website........... It is illegal to use certain methods for killing or taking wildlife: Any form of artificial lighting, mirror or other dazzling device (except for fox, rabbit or feral pigeon Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) (see BASC Lamping Code of Practice for additional information).
