I have emailed them to see if it can be recovered.

Never mind the daft headline (buzzards rare? aye right); the fact is, the glen lyon estate has been notorious for years for trying to keep folks from straying off the Munro-bagging paths with the excuse that birds are nesting. The reality is, estates hate hill walkers going off paths because we can discover illegal traps set all over the shop. Good info there, Alan, thanks for the link. I've reported more than one case to the police in the past. Thing is, they never tell you if they prosecute the estate but still you get a warm fuzzy feeling when you know you're keeping gamekeepers on their toes.Andy B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-33937328946255378622012-07-08T21:34:24.780+01:002012-07-08T21:34:24.780+01:00Hi Nick, Alan & Alen

I now feel far better prepared to take on illegal traps and the estates that carry out this law-breaking.<br /><br />There has been a spate of illegal poisoning of raptors in the last few months - and the dead birds are always to be found on hunting estates. Until the estate <b>owners</b> are fined heavily or imprisoned, this will continue. It's time to turn the tables and to make them take responsibility for their gamekeepers actions.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-15954862672234545022012-07-08T20:42:05.653+01:002012-07-08T20:42:05.653+01:00Thanks for that, Alan.

If they don't they are just cruel murderers. It appears that the law at least attempts to make the killing humane. <br /><br />If the keepers and estates are operating traps outside the law they are nothing more than brutal murderers.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-63963771055593650172012-07-07T22:39:58.454+01:002012-07-07T22:39:58.454+01:00Interesting Al.
