John Keswick 119 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 He is talking bollox, there is no requirement to have a licence to trap magpies or crows, YET! Quote Link to post
Tis TM 8 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 He is talking bollox, there is no requirement to have a licence to trap magpies or crows, YET! Thats what I thought, but did double check with an under keeper friend of mine, he said much the same, thankyou Quote Link to post

Thats what I thought, but did double check with an under keeper friend of mine, he said much the same, thankyou This is the last reply to me... he's starting to unerve me a bit now... "I myself have a garden where i provide nesting boxes with bird guardians on which take about 5 mins to fit & provides sanctuary for the songbirds.Sorry toni i can't respect somebody who seeks no other alternative than killing & also seems to get some sort of perverted kick out of uploading a trapped bird in a cage on youtube & apologizing for the poor quality. Its quite clear your hatred for the magpie is more deep-seated than you perpetuate. P.S. If you post again please provide me with the licence number for your larsen trap so i can verify you are doing it legally". Quote Link to post
John Keswick 119 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 So its ok for him to put bird box guards up to protect his nesting birds, and f**k all the other wild birds in the vacinity? Its a poor do when people have tunnel vision about such matters. The british song bird population has declined dramaticly over recent decades due to several reasons, the Magpie is far more adpatable than than some of our specialist song birds that rely on specific habitat and insect conditions, a bit like the Grey Partridge... Anyway the bloke is just trying to unerve you, tell him that if he doesnt have anything constructive to say, f**k off and keep his silly comments to himself and his blinkered bunny hugging dimwit friends... Or Failing that he can report you for keeping within the law! Quote Link to post

As for the Licence underwhich you're legally using your Larsen Trap then it's WMLGen-L08 issued by Natural England. Quote Link to post
