They know the cause but they are just not prepared to share that with the general public. They will eventually appeal for funds to preserve the food supply for their flagship killers.

the rspb said the decline of the turtle doves was because we had a wet summer and they could not breed believe that if you will

Came home today to find a collar dove torn to pieces so was on watch all night ! Unfortunately I lost a yb but so did the rspb lovers .

the rspb blamed everything from the weather to farming practices and everything in between except surprisingly enough " raptor predation "
