Bird Watching Lancashire

I am having a hard time with your figures. The RSPB press release said that crime incidents in Scotland had doubled in 2018 but the map in the appendix and the interactive hub both have the figure 12 for both years? Now in this blog you write that the 2017 incidents were 68 in 2017 but the interactive hub has 78. I am sure there is an explanation for all this but please could you be more clear in your press releases. I am just getting more and more confused. I wrote to my MSP quoting that doubling claim and had to retract it when i couldn’t back it up with facts. It doesn’t look good.

Still no comments?

Still no comments showing?

hello, please, why aren’t any comments showing? I have made a map using the RSPB type Sky and Hope 1 mile radius map to show the 3 Natural England and 3 RSPB ‘missing’ Hen Harriers. There is something rotten in Roeburndale. i.imgur.com/PZwd14k.jpg

Why aren’t my comments visible, please?

My message to the police last month and now another one in same area!!!! According to information released by Natural England (NE) recently: www.gov.uk/…/hen-harrier-annual-tracking-update On 18th August 2010 Hen Harrier id94591 ‘s satellite tag sto…

I have an update on my comments. NE has replied and say ‘In all cases, in England and the IoM, when one of Natural England’s satellite tagged Hen Harriers stops transmitting the Police are notified straight away and a thorough search of the area is made’ That is very interesting but opens up new questions about what the police have done, I also wrote to them but if it ongoing i doubt i will get a reply. In other words another black hole of infornation Strange that the NE Hen Harrier satellite tagged data-sheet mentinons nothing suspicious about birds failing. Why? They write ‘Missing Fate Unknown includes:    (i) radio-tagged birds that left the study area. The vast majority of Missing Fate Unknown’s are radio-tagged birds, this is not surprising given the mobility of Hen Harriers and our relatively small study area.    (ii) radio-tagged and satellite tagged birds that were recorded after the battery ran out or transmissions had stopped.    (iii) satellite tagged bird that died in such a position as to render the transmitter hard to locate and recover. The satellite transmitters depend on light to recharge, and operate on a 10hr on 48 hr off duty cycle. Therefore,     when a bird dies there is only a small chance that it would happen whilst the transmitter is transmitting with     enough charge to enable transmission of coordinates and a signal to enable retrieval. If the bird dies in the off     cycle of the transmitter then it could have travelled many kms to its final resting place from the last transmitted     coordinates. If this final resting place is in long vegetation, and/or the bird is lying on its back with little or no light available the solar panel it will never transmit again and the bird would fall into the Missing Fate Unknown  category. ‘

Thanks RSPB for swift appeal for information. In contrast According to information released by Natural England (NE) recently: www.gov.uk/…/hen-harrier-annual-tracking-update On 18th August 2010 Hen Harrier id94591 ‘s satellite tag stopped working. 3…

What happened to my comment? I posted over a week ago and can’t see anything. I get the RSS Bowland feed and it tells me there has been a comment by other comments but the comments are blank. The last one i can see was from the post ‘Six ways you can …

Recent NE satellite gagging data reveals that: id94591 last transmission at SD596621 on 18/08/2010 is 1km from the last known transmission of Hope and then 3 days later id58870 last transmission at SD673604 on 21/08/2010 is 2km from the last known tra…
