[QUOTE="gradders52, post: 1671533, member: 75771"] [b]Crows/Gull Predation[/b] THANKS ed. Sorry, 'British Wildlife', this a magazine? (Must get a copy). Interesting research by RSPB ended up saying, (Carrion) Crows had a high impact at certain sites (including Little tern colonies... more to follow on that). Curlew Ireland found that 82–95% of breeding attempts failed at the nesting stage, with predation accounting for about 90% of nest failures (Grant et al. 1999). Foxes appeared to be the most important nest predators at one study area (Antrim), with hooded crows and lesser black-backed gulls most important at another where foxes were largely absent (Lough Erne Islands). (Doesn't say why Foxes were 'largely absen't, habitat or 'control' by fences/shooting, just 'absent'.) [/QUOTE]
