Great news for Wildlife in the UK.

Wildlife Minister Richard Benyon has dropped proposals to license the destruction of  Buzzard nests, as well as the capture of adult birds on shooting estates.

Martin Harper, the RSPB's conservation director said - “We're pleased the minister has listened to people's concerns and acted in the public interest by cancelling this project. This is a strong decision, reflecting the strength of the nation's desire to see Government protecting precious wildlife. The recovery of the Buzzard is being celebrated by the public after many decades of persecution. It is clear they don't want their taxes being spent on removing Buzzards, and the Government has to ensure that no bird of prey will be killed in the name of sport.”
