I am almost incandescent with rage best explained by my hero Chris Packham here . . . .





I am currently almost speechless but urge any readers dropping by to consider signing the following petitions
from Chris Twitter feed:

. For a ban of driven grouse shooting https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/201443 … 

or for licensing https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/207482… @RaptorPersScot

Many of my friends and family know full well my passion and hobby of birding (not twitching) for the love of our birdlife and the spotting of a Golden Eagle (I will not say where now) on a walking holiday from college with Harry Hinchcliffe and fellow Witney Tech students way back when remains one of the highlights of my LIFE! Yes of my LIFE! Such a magnificent bird at relatively close quarters in the wild is an experience that no-one would ever forget IMHO but that grouse moors 'staff' for the shooting and decimation of fellow birds (for sport not for eating even) is a blood sport that is taking to the absolute limit when it comes to killing raptors for the sake of game birds.
