So instead of just a meeting of minds it is time to go head to head with those!We will not stand by and see these precious birds exterminated. RSPB should remember what the P stands for! That is why its members pay their subs. Anything else is tantamount to fraud!Saluki. Hen Harriers nest on Moors as they have done long before those moors were bought up for Grouse shooting.First there were smallholders, then came sheep, now there are Grouse. Just the Highland clearances over again only this time we will stop it. The law is on our side and we must ensure it is enforced.I don't think many folks are just wanting to stick up two fingers to the estates. Yes. "We" are angry but it is because we see the law being flouted with little or no redress!</blockquote>
