if you watch it closely it was not an oppertunistic attack ....you can see the osprey sees the buzzard coming ...then it leaves the nest and when the buzzard lifts the chick you ca n see at the top of

speaking as a man who had birds tied up all day i think most expierenced falconers will tell you the same thing, whilst looking like any other BOP buzzards are infact more akin to rats and cockroache

Just watched it Not surprised in the sightest. This will lead to crys to control them but nothing will happen The facility to control Buzzards has been in place for years, but NO licenses have been

You see that's what annoys me about shooters, you aren't like us lurcherman. We are hunters, one with nature, work with nature. Whereas shooters want to control everything. You buy eggs, raise tame birds under nets, shoot tame birds. You have to burn the heather, kill anything that is a threat to your tame birds even if it's a rare golden eagle. It's all false and could be done indoors. You aren't hunters or naturalists your just interested in shooting anything legal or otherwise :)

ill reply to this before i read the rest of the thread!!!!!!

 

for once baw i agree 100% with you,,, :D i grew up with game shooting and was going beating every Saturday from 7 yrs old!! loved every minute and then went to collage to do a yrs gamekeeping course and got to see the REAL side of it, which basically is its just a business where the lives of any animal is meaningless if it interferes with a precious fecking pheasant,,,, :icon_redface: also i love how its perfectly ok to shoot deer and hares by them but you a poaching scumbag who needs reporting to the police if you run one with a dog.... :bad: i wonder how many lurchermen have rang the police on shooters over a dangerous shot they have witnessed.... :hmm: :hmm:

 

 

EDITED TO ADD.... only on about big commercial shoots NOT small rough shooting syndicates as to me thats where shooting should reach its peak...JMO... :thumbs:

but lab , if they give the green light to shoot them , dont you think it wouldnt be long before they would be only a few left , then they would have to start a programe to re indroduce them :hmm: red kites !! never really used to see them , but there all over now ??

Could easily have a cull period MIck where you could control numbers at certain times. Nobody wants to go Buzzard shooting just a chance to control. You'd have some trouble trying to eradicate the numbers that we have now... :yes:

fair comment , a cull would sort it out you think ??

Your never going to stop it mate. The Buzzard is here in large numbers and growing by the year. And lets just say there would be a whole lot more if numbers were left to there own devices. But too be able to control problem birds would be a great start........ :thumbs:

Wheres Danw............he'll be out shooting Buzzards no doubt..........f*****g keepers!!!!... :laugh:

 

 

LOL nahh mate not bothered with buzzards but I seen a hare near one of my poults so spent all last week shooting the fuckers you know how it is mate kill out to save those wee birds :D

 

funny though I had been waiting for all the falconers to come and start shouting the odds about what marvellous creatures they are and how they should be free to fly as they wish can never work out if thats before or after they tend to the bop they had tied to a perch all day.

Totally agree mate it seems funny that on cuntryfile last night the rspb rep said we should try and find non lethal ways of preventing predation yet they have just stopped the 3 year non lethal defra funded study I guess they know the report would find in favour of a cull
