The following is a guest blog by someone who wishes to remain anonymous, although I know their identity. DID SCOTTISH FORESTRY KNOW STOBO HOPE WAS ‘NAPALMED’ WITH HERBICIDE LONG BEFORE ‘NEW INFORMATION CAME TO LIGHT’? Herbicide damage at Stobo Hope, July 2024. A short video of Stobo Hope may be seen here (credit – Ted Leeming).

How can the National Gamekeepers Organisation be seen as a credible partner on the Hen Harrier Taskforce after it published this nonsense?

The police-led Hen Harrier Taskforce was launched in 2024 to tackle the ongoing illegal persecution of Hen Harriers on UK grouse moors. The Taskforce was set up specifically in response to the ‘all time high’ level of Hen Harrier persecution crimes in 2022/2023 (at least 21 known incidents in 2022 and at least 33 known incidents in 2023). The extent of the criminality had become a major source of embarrassment for the police and for the governme…South Yorkshire · South Yorkshire Read Article

Three Peregrines fledge successfully at St Albans Cathedral as police investigation continues into trampling of first clutch of eggs

Good news! Three young peregrines have successfully fledged from St Albans Cathedral in Hertfordshire. This is the site where the breeding pair’s first clutch of eggs was trampled on in April 2025, as seen on the Cathedral’s livestream webcam overlooking the peregrine’s nest scrape, leading to a man ‘helping police with enquiries’ (see here, here and here for previous blogs). Two of the three Peregrine fledglings at the cathedral. Photo by Mich…St Albans · St Albans Read Article

Defra refuses funding for another futile ‘dialogue’ process to address ongoing killing of Hen Harriers on grouse moors

Back in March 2025 I blogged about the prospect of another futile ‘dialogue’ process between gamebird shooters and conservationists, purportedly to find a ‘solution’ to the ongoing illegal killing of hen harriers on grouse moors (see here). There’s nothing novel about this approach. Those with long memories will recall the utterly pointless six year ‘Hen Harrier Dialogue’, facilitated by the Environment Council between 2006-2013, where grouse sh…Conservation · England Read Article

Intensive grouse moor management ahead of muirburn licensing in Scotland

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about the Scottish Government’s and NatureScot’s decision to delay the introduction of muirburn licensing, which was due to begin on 15 September 2025 but now won’t start until 1 January 2026 thanks to lobbying by the grouse shooting industry (see here). I wrote that as a result of this delay, we can expect to see an increase in the intensification of muirburn between 1 October – 31 December 2025 as grouse moor ma…Scottish Government · Scottish Borders Read Article
