@TrooperSnooks I agree that some of us are trying our best to improve biodiversity on farms but we can’t ignore the fact that everything is still in decline except deer and wood pigeon 😬
@pete_ar_fryn@TonyJuniper The increase in generalist predators must be addressed: surely it’s partly due to the increased numbers of non native gamebirds released in their millions every year?
@BenGoldsmith@theipaper@RosieP4 I used to plant trees for a living and we would generally achieve a 90% to 95% survival rate. This was considered to be standard practice.
@herdyshepherd1@AliDriverUK It’s only the female sparrowhawk that is big enough to take a pigeon. Goshawk will also take out pigeons. What I take from all of this is that it’s good news that raptors are thriving and a sign that there’s a healthy population of prey species.
@cmcknz77 I think that as the USA is no longer concerned about Russia, it’s time to close down all the US military bases in Europe and send the troops home 👍
@PaulWelters@paullewismoney I must be clear that I work in conservation and enjoy working alongside farmers but I can’t support this protest especially as it’s promoted by the far right.
