Thank you for summing up, so well, the problems caused by the release of so many non-native birds.
Our reptiles and invertebrates are taking a sever hammering by pheasants which the public are largely un-aware of and I suspect even the shooting fraternity.
Not on the same scale perhaps, is the pheasants eating many early flowers such as crocus and primroses which would have benefited the early pollinators.
