Natural England issue first of new General Licences
Under pressure from the countryside organisations, Natural England have granted the first of the new general licences for bird control. This is their website statement.
This first licence covers the control of carrion crows. This can be found on the GTA website and is available for download here.
The legal challenge centred around the suggestion that other forms of control were not sufficiently covered. Natural England have therefore issued another pamphlet, available here and also on the GTA website which explains the use of lethal methods in context.
As licences for the other species appear they will be put in the downloads section of the GTA website.
