It's my local patch and I noticed the Ravens first appeared about a month or so BEFORE lambing. Reason being, numerous dead sheep left lying out in the open for weeks on end attracting them down to the farm.Had the sheep been removed as required I doubt if there would have been such a problem.It's unfortunate that the new legislation has been drafted partly on the back of this case and the publicity it got.Funnily enough I haven't seen any dead sheep this winter, and no sign of Ravens either!!</blockquote>
