No To Sea Eagles

[Elton]

Driving along to Felixstowe the other day, I saw some signs along the A14 that said something along the lines of "Say No To Sea Eagles In Suffolk".

 

Who might be opposed to sea eagles? These were a few miles inland.

There's quite a lot of different groups opposed to the idea of reintroducing the White-tailed Eagle, including farmers and the RSPB.

I reckon it's farmers then, as these were in farmers' fields.

It's nice to know that the world of angling isn't the only area where political bull**it prevails! Why can't they just introduce a few and see how it goes? Sod all the 'protected for a 100 metre radius' crap - they'll either survive or die, it's not bloody rocket science!

And if the RSPB are so worried about a few other birds becoming 'meals' for the eagles, why don't they petition for a cull of sparrow hawks? There's loads up our way and they regularly smack hell out of the blackbirds/ starlings and doves.

We live in a crazy society here in the UK - it's utter madness.

LOL You been talking to your mum? I was on the phone to her the other day, saying how much I hated the sparrowhawk that's killing our blackbirds in front of us in the garden!

Lol, no mate - we've got loads of s'hawks, buzzards and even red kites up here in lincolnshire. I love I do - they're awesome. Shame they kill blackbirds etc, but there's loads of blackbirds around - not many Apex predators with wings though! Besides, i heard you like shooting blackbirds with ya spud gun!

But Elton's a married man, Dave....

Yeah, but he still likes to fire his spud gun at every given opportunity! lol

There's a bit about them being considered for North Suffolk here.

 

Natural England really have lost the plot. How the hell can there be anything natural about them releasing animals that aren't there naturally? They need to rename their organisation. Most of the fishermen you speak to have a few suggestions.
