Secret filming uncovers illegal killings of rare birds in England

Pretty standard practise by the '(cough, splutter) custodians of the countryside' on the grouse moor killing fields of the Pennines (and elsewhere).

4% of UK land is annually torched and species cleansed, basically farming grouse for shooting. That is a lot of land badly managed - for perspective, not much more land, 5% of UK, is under housing.

[@mattias5551]

The land is not species cleansed nor torched, song birds are more numerous on managed shooting ground because of the amount of feeding and how things are set up. Controlled burning is an effective way to stop wildfires which are far more damaging. However I fully agree that killing hen harriers and other birds of prey is heinous mismanagement! If you cannot run your shoot alongside rare species then you shouldn't be in the job. Not only does it threaten a rare species but it also (as clearly seen here) brings a very poor spotlight on to an industry that oftentimes does a lot of undocumented good for the countryside which is easily 'brushed under the carpet' when cretins like this are given the job of keeping/ managing their ground

Grouse and hen harriers have lived side by side for thousands of years, and both species have flourished. It cant be denied that hen harriers occasionally take young grouse, but they also take many other things and dont prey exclusively on grouse. In my view it makes a day's shoot more interesting if you see the occasional raptor, particularly a rare one like the hen harrier. Licencing is a bureaucratic job creation scheme, and apart from easing the unemployment problem does nothing to help raptors.There are better ways of finding work for unemp;loyed youngsters. Some birds are protected which shouldn't be, and are a danger to much rarer birds. I'm thinking in particular of herring gulls and lesser black backs, which are a menace, and there are others.

Heather habitat is a valid part of the uplands, and even lowland heaths. But monoculture moorland maintained by burning wastes vast areas of land; land privately owned purely because their rich ancestors stole it by the sword centuries ago. Any species that benefits from heather monoculture (such as red grouse, and curlew, apparently) is far outweighed by all the other species lost to gamekeeping, or pushed out from the environment because it is so ecologically barren. The issue isn't that heather moorland is bad; it's that there's way too much of it in a severely nature depleted country that needs to rewild as much land as possible, that isn't used on other necessary things. Grouse moors aren't necessary; they should be transformed into a blended, biodiverse patchwork of woodland, scrubland and heath/moor. Just look at Arne nature reserve - I don't think they burn the heather to keep it open, but even if they do I'm sure it would be done minimally to ensure that trees didn't take over completely. And the animals that move in should be left alone, even if they do eat the poshies precious grouse dinner.
