That's what happens when you give clueless f*ckwits guns.....utterly disgraceful - and not the first time it's happened either

I've had experience of so-called "experienced professionals" such as these appear to be and have to say I've not been impressed. They appear to be happy to shoot just about anything that happens to fall in their gun sights.
I'm not commenting on the rights or wrongs of these type of species control schemes, but it would be nice if more care was taken when employing contractors for this type of work. It's especially galling when this has apparently happened on a previous occasion.

Most pigeon hunters don't know what a stock dove is? How many are slaughtered.

Indeed, but with a critically endangered bird this kind of f*ck up is inexcusable

It's like water off a duck's back!
Yep, no sign of these in my garden since the guns started going off.
They would be extinct by now if DEFRA had anything to do with it.
