It looks like you have implied that"oh well they will have another go at breeding next year anyway ,so that`s fine." I`m sure that those are not your sentiments.I will be actively lobbying for a change in the law regarding the setting up of licences for sporting estates and land used for sporting purposes.Where a no tolerance level will be enforced for all wildlife crime. I intend to make this my goal.I would like all with concerns in this field to make there views heard to the appropriate people.Regarding this case i assume that this crime was reported by the discoverer or someone with first hand knowledge of it? I would have informed -The local police and the WCO for Lancs who i believe is Duncan Thomas.The RSPB online.Crimestoppers Trust.as a minimum.Plus follow it up to ensure action -do not let it drop.OK i know that the law can only do so much, but fines and possible custodials are better than nothing.</blockquote>
