Swift bird

[Robmac]

I'm on the side of the raptors every time, Rob, it will make no difference what the gamekeeper says

We stayed for a few days every year with a head gamekeeper (friend of a friend) on a big shooting estate up near Ballater for a few years running back in the 80s. He was entirely responsible for looking after the welfare of the estates game birds and he never, ever have trapped, shot or poisoned any raptors.

It has been a criminal offence since 1954. Your gamekeeper friend will know this. The only relevant thing to know is whether he or the people who pay him wages are lawbreakers.

I've spoken to him now Marie.

No they don't kill Raptors, he loves birds of prey. He said even if they wanted it would be too much of a risk.

You do know that is not the real royal family, the real ones live in auz.

So you keep telling us Trev. The fact is that they are the real Royal family because they are accepted as such by the British public and are in place.

The bloke you are on about is the alleged real monarch and as well as it being disputed he has no interest in pursuing the matter.

I'm sure your friend doesn't Rob but , apparently , the figures (poisoned birds) are on the up .

Quite possibly, along with poisoned Badgers and Muntjac. And then there is the illegal rare birds eggs trade as well.

Sad world.

All proven by DNA, yes he is not interested as you say, dont blame him.

Far from proven Trev unless you can show me otherwise.

Yeah years ago Trev but never proved conclusively.
