Golden Eagles in Snowdonia

[jerry12953]

Thanks Janny fox. I was thinking of Devon as a whole and did not realise the difference between Dartmoor and Exmoor regarding deer. All fallen stock is the responsibility of the owner, who,if proven not to have dealt with it may loose all or part of their farm payment. Deer, unless ear tagged, belong to nobody. As you say the local top predators don't starve but is there really room for another one? If eagles,for example, are taking the lions share of fallen stock then will the foxes take more lambs to survive?

I'm sure a golden eagle wouldn't turn its nose up at a fox.........

These are the sorts of questions that would need to be answered before an introduction went ahead. That is why the O'Donoghue plan in Wales will almost certainly come to nothing. None of the required reseach has been done.
