Natural England has just published the first of its new general licences – for carrion crows.
Those who need to control these crows in the circumstances described in this licence, for example where crows cause harm to new lambs, can now do so without further steps: there is no need to apply for an individual licence.
BASC advises members to read the full details of the licence, which are available on NE’s website here:
BASC will continue to link to updates on the situation around general licences as they become available.
