Killing Little Birds
30 Answers
Why does everyone seem to think birds of prey are wonderful? with the increase of the killers there is a decline in small garden birds. I know this as my oh and I watch them every day, we don't have nearly as many finches robins and tits as we used to get in the garden. magpies, jackdaws and rooks also are out of control since gamekeepers and farmers are not shooting them. I suppose the only way they will be reduced is when they run out of food and eat each other. I think the only way to keep some of each type is to control the killers.

Biccylova. At the last census by the BTO, there were about 190,000 breeding pairs of sparrowhawks in the UK. Contrast that with over 9 million cats.
As a birdwatcher, I think the controls on pest species shouldn't have been lifted. Research on keepered land has shown that it benefits song bird populations.
However, birds of prey populations have plummeted, especially over grouse moors, take hen harriers for example. Golden eagles are struggling in Scotland, peregrines and goshawks are nearly extinct in the Dark Peak. There is no coincidence that these areas are heavily keepered shooting estates.

This will give you a little more information Biccy. Not the Beep Beep See version of events either. Beware of the comments that follow the article.
