Hi folks,

I received an email from Natural England this evening following my piece about the lethal control licences they have been issuing to kill Brent Geese.

Please take a few moments to read about it HERE

They said that they don't recognise the figures in my article, explaining that specific interpretation of the data reveals a different total. They tell me that the number of Brent Geese they licensed to be shot is closer to 3000 (not the 6000 figure we came up with).

I am reproducing this information in the interests of clarity and accuracy.

Please forgive the anomalies regarding the figures, the data really is so difficult to interpret. At least this response shows that Natural England are reading all this and listening to what we are talking about!

Best,
Jase
