More about the programme

The body that decides much of what goes on in the Welsh countryside is under fire.

It’s recently changed its rules for controlling pest birds such as crows and magpies, leaving many farmers and landowners unhappy.

But Natural Resources Wales is standing by the changes it has made to its system of General Licences.ΜύAnd some conservation groups would like to see them go further still.

In this week’s Eye on WalesΜύOliver Hides heads into the Welsh countryside to hear from both sides of the farm fence.

Are Natural Resources Wales’ general licences still too general?ΜύOr will the changes damage the efforts of those working to save some of our rarest birds from disappearing?
