Just seen this on Bird Guides -
I know wildlife crime is very difficult to police and taking hen harriers eggs and chicks and rearing them in safety, away from driven grouse moors, could result on more adult birds, but it seems pointless to do, as this -

Appalling but sadly not surprising either. English Nature are not worthy of the name these days.

As long as grouse estates are allowed to be a law unto themselves, nothing will change. Money talks louder than anything else. This was published in 2018: whoownsengland.org/2018/08/12/revealed-the-aristocrats-and-city-bankers-who-own-englands-grouse-moors/"As Who Owns England has previously exposed, grouse moor estates cover an area of England the size of Greater London – some 550,000 acres – and are propped up by millions of pounds in public farm subsidies. ...around half of England’s grouse moor estates turn out to be owned by the aristocracy and gentry, whilst the other half are owned by wealthy businessmen and women, City bankers, hedge fund managers, and Saudi princes." |
