This adult drake RUDDY DUCK was shot dead by Defra (Fera) on 3 August, whilst all around large numbers of post-breeding Gadwall, Tufted Ducks, Coots, Moorhens and Little Grebes were made to flee and were petrified.
I want to save the Ruddy Duck from this carnage so PLEASE :-
1) DO NOT PUBLICISE THE PRESENCE OF ANY RUDDY DUCKS IN THE UK AT ANY LOCATION
2) PREFERABLY, DO NOT SUPPLY WEBS DATA WITH RUDDY DUCK INFORMATION; IF SO, MARK 'STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL' OR JUST TICK AS PRESENT;
3) IF YOU GET PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF A RUDDY DUCK CULL, PHONE 07881 906629 IMMEDIATELY, SO THAT AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT CAN BE MADE OF THE OPERATION
I am closely monitoring the remaining Ruddy Duck population and would be grateful for any information that can be supplied, so that I can make contingency plans for their safety - email LGREUK400@aol.com
