Can anyone offer advice? I recently saw a rather disturbing sign on the back of a pigeon transporter: "Where have all the songbirds gone? Hawks eat them one by one..." seeming to assert that 'hawks' are responsible for the demise of the British songbird and the racing pigeon. It quotes the web address of the racing pigeon royal association. Now, I'm no expert but that seems a little contentious to say the least. The sign implicitly advocates some kind of action but of course fails to specify. Is the RSPB aware of this assertion? I'd be very interested to know what you think.
I think this "campaign"has been running for a long time and we can only hope it is mainly hot air.It is very hard to catch anyone committing crimes against wildlife by the very nature of their prefered habitat

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Hiding behind some feux environmental cause to achieve their own agenda is what really annoys me. Luckily I think the general public have little interest in the opinions of such a minority sector.
Perhaps you should sport a poster showing the other (more accurate) side of the argument and park it next to his truck.
Perhaps put a sign saying Bye Bye to the pigeons who don't make the grade.
I know most fanciers accept the odd one being taken naturally

a good laugh is better than a tonic
Are these the same pigeon fanciers who will happily kill a pigeon if it fails to make the grade in races ?
Thatsv exactly what I mean Seaman.
