    Red-backed Shrikes nest on Dartmoor

    
     September 10, 2010
    

    
    For the first time since the early 1990s a pair of Red-backed Shrike have successfully nested and raised young in England. The birds, at a secret location on Dartmoor, have been under close watch to guarantee their safety: RSPB staff and volunteers from the Dartmoor Study Group and Devon Bird Watching & Preservation Society spent more 2,600 hours working on site around the clock. The protection scheme has also been supported by Forestry Commission, Natural England, Devon and Cornwall Constabulary and Dartmoor National Park Authority. Congrats to the RSPB et al, but all that effort to protect one nest? Sadly the UK’s scummy egg-collectors visited the site several times…time for a ’shoot on sight’ conservation policy perhaps?
