White Tailed Sea Eagles, IOW

Given up on the wording., my back"s wide enough for the trivia. Lets get back to the topic- any update on the demise of the birds

Don’t know anymore about that ‘smoking gun’ accusation but folk may find this interesting?

Here

What fascinates me is that Denmark has an increasing number of these raptors with more than a 100 breeding pairs. These birds are cherished by the people of Denmark which is smaller than Yorkshire and Lincolnshire put together but here in the UK many raptors are persecuted, often deliberately eradicated by folk who only have there own interests at ‘heart’! A dreadful inditement on these  few who profess to understand ‘the countryside’!

Gone quiet now it seems it was not those nasty, farmers,gamekeepers and country folk who were  responsible for the deaths. Could it be that the UK as a country has moved on,higher population, more urbanisation etc. that makes a mockery of the holy grail of reintroductions. Releasing tame birds does not work. As I previously said King Canute could not turn the tide back.

Although some would delight in ‘it’ being swept under the carpet the jury is not out yet.

There have been similar very successful reintroductions elsewhere in Europe. So why is England that different. Why shouldn’t they try to reintroduce them. That 260 + page document has Lots of evidence and information in it. 

Because we are an overpopulated,urbanised country.

Clearly not read the document then. Such birds, along with kites and ospreys are happily living in populated and urbanised countries around the world. Must admit that Norfolk, Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire, Cumbria and Northumberland sounded better introduction site to me. But guess what factors scuppered their consideration! 

This is reality in todays world. The green and peasant land, but in the background is the Trawsfynydd Nuclear Reactor. No problem to  us locals, we just live with it and jobs created.

"green and peasant land..."

Indeed!

And many who are now Staycationers have realised what a green and pleasent land they are now discovering the UK is in many places, albeit highly populated in some areas👍👍

And spending their money in the more rural areas that are in need of it😜👌
