New licensing for game shoots could stop poisoning of birds of prey
Scheme planned for England could also curtail tradition of releasing pheasants for people to pay to shoot

Recent seabird work has centred around Bonxies and Storm Petrels, with two Leach’s Petrels also trapped in recent sessions. Breeding success has been variable, with the Arctic Terns fledging just one chick. Read more at www.fairislebirdobs.co.uk/latest_sight...
