Hi folks,
I have a response from Natural England following my suggestion that they suspend all Herring Gull kill licences due to the birds' rapid decline.
I've outlined it all on my blog as usual HERE
Their response is typically vague, in spite of a hint that changes to the licences might be considered.
I'll be updating further when I receive the details I requested of an example Herring Gull licence - that should be in the next few days.
Thanks again everyone for the kind and encouraging words!
Best,
Jase
