Islander Joe Caudwell (aka didgeridoo musician Cephalodidge) has been in touch with his concerns about Government plans that could affect our native buzzards.
He says there are proposals to control the population of buzzards and that DEFRA and the Government are planning to spend £375,000 to destroy buzzard nests and capture this beautiful bird.
The reason for this action? To protect pheasant shoots.
Have your say
He is appealing to Islanders to write to Andrew Turner, the Isle of Wight MP and the MP responsible, Richard Benyon.
