Hi, may I ask whereabouts the Dotterel are at Cwm Cadlan? Would be a lifer for me too. May try for them over the weekend.

Yes very true. And apologies for misspelling your name previously.

…The comparison between spring numbers is valid, but comparing peak pheasant biomass in autumn with the lowest point of the year for resident breeding birds is not.” I emailed WJ (being a supporter) about the Ad’s figures but received no reply. ‘Double’ sounds more punchy but I prefer honesty 3/3

Indeed the source you provided states
…”pheasant biomass is about 0.2 of the total British bird biomass in spring and 1.6-1.7 times the same spring estimate for all birds in the autumn’ and it continues by saying… 2/3

Thanks for your analysis of this Mike. I too broadly agree and welcome the awareness this ad has raised. But the 5th claim - ‘total biomass of released Pheasants is around double that of all native UK birds’, does appear exaggerated. 1/2

I would yes but I’m also no expert! Still getting to grips with my Gulls book.
