Being in the countryside, and seeing corvids decimate nests (and attack lambs). And consequently relatively few songbirds.

Recently me and the dogs have spent hours attempting to scare a flock of Magpies away from the Blackbird and Finch nests in the trees in the garden.
They are tenacious bastards and I fear eggs and chicks have been lost.

Obvious rolleyes at the source, but there's some more here:
Britain's rarest birds are being put at risk by Natural England decision to revoke shooting licences, farmers warn

Farmers and fisherman are not ecologists. Never, ever ask them about environmental matters.
Anyway, diversion and whilst corvids may have an impact, farming is worse.

Did you read my link? There were ecologists and conservationists talking about the negative effects for birds of NE's General License shambles. I don't when your RSPB link is from, and whether it addresses those events of this past month. Or whether you'd realised that the RSPB uses the General Licenses to kill some birds, in order to protect others?

Environmental article in a climate change denying paper? Nope. Batshit stuff.

None of your links seem to address the very recent changes.

I only just noticed that Gove is Scottish.

Great now I have to go back and find that post. Thanks.
e2a: Turns out I said 'I know nothing about Michael Gove' so at least I was honest from the get-go.

I love crows, TBH. Clever birds.
But nobody who looks at the world around us could reasonably deny that their numbers have increased hugely over the years. (The RSPB agrees: Crows! Population boom - Wildlife questions - Wildlife - The RSPB Community)
Be a bit weird if an increase in a species that eats other birds and their eggs didn't lead to a decrease in their prey species.

Yeah, and then to not be able to control them at all during this crucial period is nuts.

They're clever. They've watched us taking over the world, and now they want a piece of it.
seems like Carrion crow is a bit of a misnomer then.What a carry on.

Gacked to the nines. Do you remember Osborne looking off his nut on the front bench? Age of the cokehead. Nothing against recreationals generally if you can handle them but not if you’re in a national leadership position. Can cloud the judgement.

Tbh, and I'm not arsed cos it's Michael Gove so fuck him, but I think he's just a bit awkward and physically different, maybe dyspraxic or something, like with the hand clapping video
It's a state we all wish we were in.
