Message: <blockquote data-quote="Motmot" data-source="post: 1520158" data-attributes="member: 72">Yeah, Ruddys are great keep 'em coming to Spain... Later moan about how rare are White-headeds getting (if any left) in Spain and what the hell are all those Ruddys doing there! All those pounds spent travelling through Spain for nada??!, great, you'll love it. Your grandsons will love you when you tell them about the good times when Spain was full of White-headeds, they'll only find Ruddys like at home, they'll love it.It's been a long and winding road to protect W-h from hunters, habitat loss etc, we only had a handful not that long ago. Will be great if hybridisation eliminates them now, thank you some of you folks for that invaluable help. Culling Ruddys is really really bad, you'll lose those cute duckies...Some people will never truly understand the meaning of ignorance... what a shame.</blockquote>
