Poultry: Conservation
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government how many European white-fronted geese have been shot at the Northumberland Wildlife Trust reserve Grindon Lough in the open season in each of the last ten years.
- Answer
-
Natural England (NE) provided an evidence dossier for the European white-fronted goose as part of a recent government consultation. While the dossier notes Grindon Lough as a site where Greenland white-fronted geese overwinter, Grindon Lough is not an SSSI and neither NE nor the Government holds information on how many European white-fronted geese have been shot at this location in the open season in the last ten years.
