Agree entirely Degsy, been saying that for years, how often do you hear on TV/radio 'Where are all the chirpy little sparrows gone?' next breath 'How fantastic we just released umpteen Sparrow Hawks/Kestrels/Eagles into the wild today' They don't seem to get the connection!:nut:
We never saw a Buzzard round here till a few years ago, now there are loads, suspect it's the sweet little bunnys they're eating though, so that's OK.
'Experts' used to say only feed garden birds in the cold weather, now they say feed all year, all this does is concentrate the birds in one place, so they're easy to ambush!
