Greens massacring the environment (Part 253)

A small update to what is becoming a regular feature on these pages - still more trashing of the environment by environmentalists.

This time it's the RSPB who have been doing their darndest to make this green and pleasant land just a little bit greyer and duller.

The populations of falcons, kites and eagles have increased sharply in the wake of reintroduction programmes and improvements in their environments. But now the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has discovered that their success is leading to a decline in ground nesting birds such as the grey partridge, one of the most endangered birds in the UK, the capercaillie, the black grouse and its red cousin.

Will they apologise to all the gamekeepers they've been prosecuting?
