Legal birds and beasts

[edjay 0]

Could anyone please point me to an authorative list of British birds that can be legally shot or taken from road-kill and used in the dressing of flies. Likewise with our four legged friends.

 

Many thanks.

 

Edit: I just ended up at the BASC site, they have all the relevant information on the quarry and seasons.

If you made a note of the things in season then you are probably 90% of the way there, add in the vermin and probably 95%.

 

Go onto the DEFRA web site and look for the Counrtyside and willife protection acts. , that will fill in the other 5%.

I got as far as the Wildlife Management Branch and the Introduction to Environmental Protection, have you got a link to the above please: I typed it into their search and it came up with 23 documents with obscure titles. Many thanks.
