Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching Challenge
Sad news indeed ard mhacha. Heard an even sader sound today as I was standing in the nature reserve on the shores of Lough Neagh looking at the sheer beauty of the local swans. The sound of wild fowlers in the distance with their non stop volley of gunfire. They are allowed to shoot one mile away from the reserve. The whole shoreline of Lough Neagh should become a reserve.Sad when natural causes kill birds in such numbers. Even sader when men go out to do it in the name of sport.
