📰 Thermal drone helps protect nesting curlews

A Cumbria conservation project is using thermal drones to locate curlew nests and chicks before fields are cut, helping protect one of Britain's most threatened wading birds.

Working closely with local farmers, the team has already found 33 nests this season and monitored more than 60 chicks, boosting hopes for curlew recovery in the region.

📰 New sentencing guidelines target hare coursing

New sentencing guidelines for hare coursing offences came into force on 1 June, recognising the crime as more than a rural nuisance and reflecting its links to organised criminal activity, intimidation and cross-border offending.

The changes aim to ensure courts take a tougher and more consistent approach, building on strengthened powers introduced under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022.

📰 NGO urges Defra to restore gamebird release licence

The National Gamekeepers' Organisation has called on Defra to reinstate the general licence for gamebird releases on European protected sites following the lifting of avian influenza restrictions across Great Britain.

The NGO argues that if the risk of avian influenza has fallen enough for the Government to remove the Avian Influenza Prevention Zone, then the same reduced risk should justify allowing releases to resume on Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation.
