A good post there, Ruth! I signed that a while ago, the book is a good one too!

A very worthy cause, I am a member of our local Raptor Study Group and these birds are magnificent and shouldn't be lost because of a minority of individuals

cheers, John

It's mostly keepered land that birds are found poisoned on a small minority of keepers think anything with a hooked beak is fair game.

It's mainly Sparrowhawks and Peregrines that upset the pigeon fanciers, so I don't think they are the main threat overall.

Vulnerable nests are watched but enough people aren't available to watch them 24/7 and even when someone gets caught and fined it doesn't stop them from trying again

There are some sad delusioned people out there
