Just caught up with last Tuesday's Saving Species broadcast on Raptors,some interesting views on the conflict between shooting and raptors.It is still available on BBC Radio 4 I player and is well worth a listen,less than 30 mins so good for a coffee break.
There is also an article on similar lines in the latest (November) issue of Bird Watch magazine that is quite thought provoking for those with an interest in raptor protection.
