[QUOTE="Danllan, post: 7464400, member: 8735"] You raise an important point - control of corvids etc.. There are now nowhere near as many gamekeepers as there were even forty years ago, and they - often over-zealously - kept numbers down significantly, as well as badgers and foxes, all of which meant that wild ground-nesting birds and small birds were being protected as well as the horrible pheasants. What we see with current corvid numbers is probably nearer a natural norm than when small bird numbers started being recorded during highly-keepered times - and that would have lead to an inaccurate and subsequently unattainable datum...
