Ruddy Duck info from RSPB
I have just 'searched' for Ruddy Duck on the RSPB website.Part of the info read:-
In 2003, the Government decided to proceed with an eradication programme as part of a package of measures to help safeguard the white-headed duck. A five-year eradication project managed by FERA began in 2005, which by March 2008 had reduced the UK’s population of ruddy ducks to 400-500 birds. It said last modified 6/8/2009.
So that should mean the cull is finished (2005/6/7/8/9).
Defra came to Blith. I don't think anyone at Blithfield were involved.
