Exactly. That would help ‘plug the hole’ whereas the reintroduction plan would simply open the tap with the drain left wide open.

For that kind of money you could hire half a dozen coppers to hang around a few carefully chosen locations (North Yorkshire maybe?) and help those Hen Harriers live longer and happier lives.

Dead Peregrines have tested positive for HPAI....probably due to propensity of catching waterfowl.

Scotland, reknowned for killing endangered raptors and other wildlife...on behalf of rich people with guns.
