They asked for 250,000 volunteers over a few days; they’ve had 405,000 in 24hrs - makes you proud to be British #SaveOurNHS

Great idea for an article and a very good point made here by @PaddyCGalbraith
Morning, @ChrisGPackham I’m currently writing a piece for @ShootingTimes about mental health problems among young gamekeepers. I’m interested in whether your relentless vilification of them and mistruths have been a factor. The below being a good example. Can we speak please?

Hi @ChrisGPackham, sorry it’s taken us a while to reply. We like to get our facts right before we make big claims. We’ve spoken to the Icelandic authorities and they confirm no brits have been over there to shoot puffins. The apology will be in the post? shootinguk.co.uk/uncategoriz…
You couldn’t make it up . . . and you don’t have to . Puffin hunting . Yep , UK shooters travel to Iceland and the Faroes to kill big ‘bags’ of Puffins . . . Any of your members at it @BASCnews @Gameandwildlife ? I wonder if @ShootingTimes has a view ? telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/07…
Taken the step today to get #LifesaverReady seeing if I am eligible to donate Stem Cells, helping people with blood cancers. Urge anyone to do the same, quick and easy!
You just cannot expect the general public to even begin to understand rural issues, when the BBC lack the ‘cojones’ to even report them in the first place. #BBCBIAS #nobackbone
So @tomheapmedia @AdamHenson @charlottebsmith @BBCCountryfile is this really where we are? No mention of the current General Licence fiasco causing chaos to those trying to save wildlife, lambs and crops? @ShootingTimes @CountrymansW #generallicence #corvid
Currently chuckling after comparing the state of shooting back in the UK, and here in NZ. One is in a state of uncertainty due to short-sighted governing bodies, the other has just announced the opening duck shooting this weekend with a celebratory playlist on national radio🤣🇳🇿

Agreed,impressive images.Would you be (as) enthusiastic to investigate reports of nest disturbance from/by any person? To the point where “good natured but reckless intentional disturbance” damaged nest performance? #henharrier #peregrine #wildlife #raptor
Mornings getting later now down under, a brighter spell after the dregs of a tropical storm. Change in weather after such a dry spell means Pheasants are everywhere 🙄👍🏼 #Pheasantsnotfriends #NZgamekeeping #cyclonenotsun

Feeling like a bit of a tit today, after 8 hours in Auckland A+E to have this bad boy removed....another location ticked off the list! #Naylorgotnailed #dickoftheweek

After having seen first hand today what the affects of a serious road collision can result in, please every one of my friends and family be safe over #NYE2018 #Drivesafe #lifestooshort

Very busy down under, been a while since my last update. Following a fresh delivery of Gods own Tea, the first hatch came off this morning. Successful hatch, but it’s the beginning of a long journey until May! #chicks #spring #pheasants #ducks #gamekeeperdownunder #livingthedream

Definitely underestimated how difficult being away from my K9 companions would be. Would do anything to spend a day with them #dogsick #NZ #10moremonths 🇳🇿

Maybe @Benfogle the hundreds of youngsters in @BASCNorth that have invested countless hours on bird box building, tree planting, corvid control, sphagnum planting, crops for feed/cover/invertebrates, balsam bashing would challenge that statement? #wildlife
