Huge news! History is made as @scotgov passes the new Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill.

Scotland has now banned snares, licenced grouse moors and muirburn, and placed restrictions on wildlife traps.

A fantastic result and well done to all those involved!

'Free' and Susie were 2 #HenHarriers tagged by @NaturalEngland in 2022.

Illegal Hen Harrier persecution got them both. 🪶☠️

Free’s head was ripped off whilst alive and Susie's chicks were stamped to death.

'Susie' a #HenHarrier hatched 4 chicks in June 2022 on a driven grouse moor in Northern England.

15 days later the chicks were dead.☠️

They had been stamped to death with violent injuries including fractures and crushed skulls.

Lovely to see our hen harrier mural at North Gateway, a newly-open cafe on the a9 at Daviot woods just south of Inverness.

There'll be plenty of passing folk reading our information board about Thistle - raising awareness to a wide audience over the longer term 👍

New report: MEDDLING ON THE MOORS

On the grouse moors of northern England, a controversial management trial of Hen Harriers has been under way for five years. Some call it brood management, we call it brood meddling.

Today we at Wild Justice publish Meddling on the Moors. 1/5

[Joel Ashton 🍃🌳🍃 @_JoelAshton]

Why are we losing so many of our ground nesting birds? These are the scenes currently all over #Derbyshire & many counties - beautiful #wildflowermeadows mown down for silage (cattle feed).

Curlew, Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Oystercatcher & Lapwing are ground nesting birds. Right now they will have eggs/chicks. All of which will be mown down, along with thousands of insects, mammals and other animals, who until now, have made this landscape their home.

74% of our land is currently managed under agricultural practices. We therefore need more incentives for farmers/land owners to manage their land on a rotation, allow nature back in & let these birds & other animals breed.

Without this, our ground nesting birds, butterflies, moths, bees, bats, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and many creatures will continue to plummet and the iconic calls of our Skylarks, Curlews & Lapwings will vanish from our landscapes.

The longer we cast nature aside, the harder it will be for it to bounce back.

Well, it’s all going swimmingly so far @NaturalEngland @TonyJuniper. I’d like to ask what plans have you got to get rid of the other half? Halfwits!!!
