In my opinion it's great idea to take legal action to save birds we love. We
all know it's not going to be an easy road but not impossible, like Richard
said "chances of winning a court battle vs.
I wonder if people can tell wot a peregrine looks like? Surely when you have
seen the falcon drive after a pigeon its a sight you do not forget in a
hurry. It's such a breath taking display and amazing to watch (when it's not
one of your babys).
The pictures are of peregrines and anyone that thinks its just a spec of
dust, well i wouldnt like him refereeing my birds on a fly day!!!
Sunday, let the droppers out for a fly and within minutes a sparrow hawk
joined the kit. I whatched stunned for a while as this was only secondc fly
this season. Any way eventually came to my senses and as the droppers came
in I clapped my hands and the hawk decided to split, taking nothing. As he
flew away I whatched and he roosted about a 1/4ml away an a group of trees.
Is it unusual for the hawk to scare at just a clap, I know the boys in
Swansea use fire works when they come under attack to scare BoP away
I think you didn't read franks Mail carefully, he is talking about the bear
and the sheep example. Any way it is not so important to get into such
details to waist our time instead we should put our efforts together to
achieve something if we can.
Tipplers at 800 feet are not in pins - as this altitude you can see their
wings move Tipplers under attack at 1 km cannot be seen because they are
already 100 meters out of sight.
Peregrines should not be shot at in flight - they should be talked into
becoming vegetarians at the place where you find the pigeon bands :-)
Usually, the rifle is not used for effective bird hunting.
Yes i think you have a small problem (for now). A pair of peregrines will do
a hell of a lot of damage in the 5mile radius in where you live in up in
sunderland, as said in previous posts.
Yes I have always been into the "physical" side of the Sport so course I
would love to have a go thanks,,,, now,,,,,, Ive been trying to think up an
analogy that encapsulates this BOP issue.
Guys, enough already with this BOP thing. This subject is now going to new
levels of ridicules As for farmers and game keepers, there is already
compensation set aside by all governments everywhere for those that loose
stock to certain predators !! Pigeons do not fall into those category's !!!
the way i see this problem we live in different enviroments and under
different laws etc etc all this trying 2 get the government to do summit
about the problem is just a pipe dream m8 at the end of the day as far as
joe publics concerned pigeons are just rats with wings birds of prey are
summit people think are elegant birds as i said in a previous post av done a
lot of background work and m
The EU has the first chance to achieve something in the BOP menace - if we
get together. Now I am not just talking about tippler flyers but also about
homer fliers, chicken farm owners, game keepers and fish stock pond
managers.
There were some victories already won on the local CZ platform.
