Lets say brood management is employed for 10-12 years. The HH population explodes and we have lots of occupied territories. What then? There'll be a call for a cull. I'm afraid no one will ever be able to persuade me that in this scenario brood management is a viable option. The way it works in France is a genuine conservation effort where no one is purposefully going out of their way to persecute a bird. That is a huge difference.</blockquote>
