Its_grim_up_norf 577 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Im not very clued up on birds of prey, but i was just wondering if this little prick has shot one...hes adamant that it is a 'missle thrush' Just looking at the size of it i know its not a mistle thrush. So i thought id ask the knowledgable lads of this forum, is this a kestrel? Out of order if hes shot one. Can you shoot them? are they not protected..?

No mate i dont. seen it on facebook, on his profile picture of all things. soon as i seen it i though kez, but someone else asked him and he said missle thrush. i know its not a thrush, but not 100% its a kestrel. lads like this able to buy rifles off gumtree give every one a bad name. even if they arent protected they're beautiful birds and shouldnt be shot in my opinion.

A bloke at my work keeps them, goes out after hares with them and that. sounds amazing. although i must say its strange that its still allowable to hunt with BOP and not lurchers...?

charlie caller 3,654 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I cant see it either, but both birds are afforded equal protection in the uk, he should get a knock at his front door, dick head. Quote Link to post

Ive seen the pic and the wings look to short for a kestrel so i dont think it is one. But equally its still a protected brd whatever it is Quote Link to post
