The Blackmore & Sparkford Vale Hunt don't even call hounds off when they know we've got the fox on film. They're that arrogant and confident that @ASPolice @ASPRuralCrime will do nothing. Boxing day yesterday with @mendiphuntsabs Full video very close call https://t.co/Q89M7famr7

@duncan_dine @Gregmabbs I was working in a garden at Charlton Close from 10.30am, I could hear their trilling calls for quite a while but could not see them, eventually the flock flew over me. Also had GSWoodpecker drumming.

There starting to be a common sight here in Gloucestershire, numbers appear to be slowly increasing as they move through the county.

'In excess of 100 dead pheasants' dumped in Wales.

Media outlets are describing this as a 'mystery' and 'baffling'. It's far from that - it's been happening for years across UK because shooting industry knows it can get away with it.

@duncan_dine @Jeremysquire Glad to say all togs & scopes behaved while i was there yesterday afternoon. Birds dropped down to feed on 3 occasions while i was there, everyone kept still, quiet. Did hear there was the usual muppets that don't know how to use a tele lens getting too close earlier in the day!
