Well done Wales. The politicians will now need to take note and act.
I am sure the general public, as they become more and more aware of the wide spread cruelty and abuses that driven grouse shooting (DGS) has on both birds, animals and moorland, increasingly wish to see DGS completely eradicated from our uplands and much more productive and far less harmful employment activities for local people replacing it.
Thanks Mark! Interesting that it is the predominantly rural and/or England bordering constituencies at the top of the list.
As you say, there aren’t many grouse moors in Wales but of course Hen Harriers disperse quite widely in winter. The north Gower marshes used to be a regular winter roosting area for HHs, some of which of course came from England (e.g. at least one of the birds tagged by Natural England). Its anecdotal only but my perception is that there have been successively fewer birds over the last several winters and last winter was particularly poor, with to my knowledge, just one bird present and only briefly.
