Hunting from land should be allowed from September 1 to January 31 while that at sea should start on October 1 to January 31 according to recommendations presented by the Ornis Committee to the Prime Minister.
The committee is recommending that the autumn trapping season should close after December 31 in spite of a ban stipulated by the EU Birds Directive against trapping after that date.
There is yet another breach of the EU Birds Directive proposed by the Ornis Committee. It is actually proposing to disregard the directive and open the season for the trapping of turtle dove and quail between September 1 and January 31 and for song thrush and golden plover between October 20 and January 10.
