Whoops - that was just a quick post with my last few % of battery before reading the article. Have Edited my original post. I'd just taken them to be re-introductions - is Scotland not cold enough for them or something? :cat:
Why on earth would this be approved? - sounds dodgy as, and must have a severe impact on native prey animals ......
SNH sounds like it's got a lack of integrity or governance somewhere. Have further read some criticisms from within.

Bah humbug
Interesting read of the comments below the article if you have the time - and yes certainly not a breeding species in recent times at least. Maybe some disturbance and that they are a high arctic breeding species.

So these guys are training their falcons at the expense of the public - or am I missing something? What do the local grouse moor owners have to say about this, I thought they had a lot of influence or something?
So this is they people conduct surveys over there. Are the people at SNH mentally handicapped or just corrupt?
