I have been reading about the apparent conflict between RSPB and the Scottish game keepers association. It is disapointing to read about so many issues that they cannot agree on.
The accustations of people shooting raptors is exagerated at best. Their attitude to heather burning is beyond comprehension. The Cairgormes was ablaze on Friday and without fire breaks, may have been even more catastrophic. They are an extremely wealthy organisationwho in my opinion, should be spending money on conservation rather than self publicity, while working with land Managers instead of trying to persue left wing policies where supporters of country persuits are persecuted with accusations and falshoods. Shame on you RSPB.
 
The rspb have always been the same. Not interested in saving birds, only interested in their bank balance. The rarer a bird is, the more money they can extract from the gullable publics pockets.
Anyone who kills vermin on a sporting estate is scum, but its ok for the rspb to do it on their reserves in the name of "conservation".
If you partake in any management techniques used on arouse moors, like burning, your also the scum of the earth, but due to their lack of burning, we are now seeing the results of what will happen. How much wildlife has been lost in the last week or so in these fires?
And who do they expect to turn up and put these fires out? Yip, the keepers.
There would be so many benefits for nature if the rspb could get rid of their utter hate for shooting, and actually work with sporting estates.
The rspb are not fit for purpose and should loose their royal status.

Not quite - first had to become a temporary RSPB member which included a satanic-like ritual involving running naked around their reserve with an avocet’s tail feathers stuck in my err….. tail whilst mimicking a roding woodcock.
Great fun though - the fox shooting not the ritual. Shot 40 plus over a season until the RSPB had three separate goes fencing in the reserve:-
1. Too low (all of 3 feet high);
2. Increased to 6 feet but left full perimeter gap at the bottom - the ground for a yard either side was 6 inches deep of bark chippings - I kid you not; and
3. Sinking another fence into the ground and running an electric fence along the top.
In the process spending north of £350,000 of all those elderly ladies’ donations and this does not include the two “experts” who TWICE flew in from HQ - utterly criminal!l
The best bit was their ignoring my (even further and free) advice to drive the large reed bed before they finally closed the large gate. Sooooo a week later I got another call and thus shot the last two, fat as butter and smelling distinctly of arctic tern, foxes!
