People i know had their cars arsoned whilst they were birding, on other occasions camp participants had their car tyres slashed... When we go birdwatching we always keep sight of the cars cause you never know. I really envy other countries where you can birdwatch in a more relaxed way. This very evening, i saw an osprey being shot down.....you wont beleive me, but seeing birds of prey being shot down is the order of the day during migration......As regards your help, DO write to EU and Environment commissioner, show your disapproval to this slaughter and make the word spread, our government needs foreign pressure for it to start moving.</blockquote>
