@cranston_alex @WildJustice_org @JRSConsultants @MarkAvery Ah thank you, just found this interesting Paper on it. https://t.co/STD9hXyQgQ
@HughFW @BBCMoreOrLess Blackburn and Gaston (B&G) https://t.co/yxdQ4JhNjs showed that in the 2013 breeding season, wood pigeon comprised greater biomass than pheasants (5088 vs 3740 tonnes – of a total of 23,964 tonnes of breeding biomass) 2/10
Scary figures of the numbers of pheasants released every year. This adds almost 30,000 tonnes of pheasant biomass to the British avifauna, or roughly 1.5 times the entire 2013 native breeding bird biomass. https://t.co/T6I3aSToke

@GethinJones123 @IWhit @Gameandwildlife https://t.co/FXRZw3tET4 Buzzards are generalist predators & don't have to be linked to pheasant releases but you gotta admit that while correlation doesn't always prove causation, its is striking and worth invest
