In 2012 , the NFC revised some of its goals and set forth a new vision of waterfowl management that emphasized a core of hunter and conservationist supporters. In an effort to better understand the “human dimension” of its conservation efforts, several surveys were conducted, including the National Birdwatching Survey (NBS).

It is estimated that there were more than 1000 Great Bustards in the northern lowlands of Serbia at the beginning of the 20th century, but back then these birds were also present in the south and the east of the country. Bustards are very susceptible to any kind of disturbance and, naturally, hunters like to shoot.

Cocker presents Eurasian Larks as a prime example of one of the recurring themes of the book, our culture’s tendency to cherish a bird in poetry and myth and to simultaneously exploit, even ravish, the actual bird. Larks, for example. The Birds of Prey chapter, on the other hand, is 18 pages long. Birds and People is an exceptional book.

It's too bad that Latimer's presentation is so obnoxious, as even when he raises what might be valid points, he makes you want to disagree with him.

The Red-breasts tend to keep together, though within the White-front flocks, and it always takes some time with the scope to pick them out, even when there are hundreds of birds present. Stopping spring shooting and educating hunters about these endangered birds has helped reduce the pressure on the species, but many threats still remain.

From what I’ve been hearing, sport hunters are chomping at the bit to also return to the forest in droves. These fierce predators would much rather grab a juicy cicada than a bird; but with those oversized, powerful feet – I’m fairly certain they would take the opportunity if presented with it.
