redrog Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 was member for over 20yrs, stopped 12yrs ago after they chucked us anglers off a lake we stocked and maintained after they bought it for a song, reason given was lead poisoning which we all knew was crap as lead shot had been outdated years before, self absorbed organisation as far as i'm concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter pandy Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Anyone noticed that when Daily Newspapers print an adverse story regarding raptors !! The RSPB have retractions and misinformation printed en mass for days after. Daily Newspapers rely not only on sales but advertisement and one of the largest purchase of advertisements is the RSPB.. Letters I have sent to the Editor for inclusion in there Letters Page have so far been unsuccessful and appears to be a waste of time and effort.

Walter swanston Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I have the good fortune to live in a beautiful area of South West Scotland which is popular with tourists anxious to have a glimpse of what is described as the magnificent and increasingly rare Peregrine Falcon ( the tourist board's words not mine)Which is why we are on a hiding to nothing and believe me I have tried.
