Anger as RSPB allows bird shoots on its land
Last updated at 21:52pm on 12th January 2008

Britains foremost bird charity has been branded disgusting - for
allowing ducks and geese to be shot on one of its nature reserves.


The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) hands out
shooting licences on its land at Langstone Harbour, near Portsmouth,
Hampshire - where wildfowlers kill up to ten birds a day for sport.

The shooting has been allowed since 1979 but was revealed publicly
only when a pellet-riddled duck carcass was found by a walker.

Barry Hugill, of the League Against Cruel Sports, said: I find it
exceedingly distasteful.

Langstone Harbour, where wildfowlers kill up to ten birds a day for
sport
How on earth can it be a sanctuary if someone is going to kill the
birds that are resident there? I hope the RSPB will reconsider its
decision.

Conservationist Robert Hill, who discovered the dead widgeon duck,
said: This is a blood sport - a disgusting, macho, egotistical,
self-gratifying act.

But Chris Cockburn, the RSPB warden for Langstone Harbour, said: If
wildfowling was banned the only way we could make it work would be by
policing it.

The reality is that would be very difficult - whereas by licensing it
we are effectively controlling the amount of shooting.

England / Angelic Upstarts

The red in the flag is the blood that was spilt
In the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country has been so great
The stories Britannia could tell

I never want to live my life
Away from the golden shores
Theres never a country in the world
With the scent of an English rose

England oh England a country so great
A land thats so fair and so true
Therell never be any colours like
The red the white and the blue

Whenever you go to a far off land
Theres something goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love that comes
For your mother of red white and blue

You could never be born under a flag thats like
The one of the Union Jack
St.Georges spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back
