CharlieT 32 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I believe your dove is not on the general license and therefore protected. You may wish to remove your photo. Quote Link to post

You may wish to remove your photo. charlieT your right there protected! Acording to the current general licence, collared doves are pest species which can be taken under several general licence agreements, assuming you shot this dove as part on an agreement with the landowner (or you are the owner) to prevent damage to stored crops or to prevent disease then you were not committing an offence http://www.basc.org.uk/media/basc_informat...s_in_the_uk.pdf see also http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/r...cencebirds.aspx Quote Link to post
