Glimpsing a raptor on the wing brings a lump of excitement to the throat of many, but to some who manage shooting estates they are voracious predators, diminishing game reserves and destroying livelihoods. Despite legal protection, such birds are often shot and poisoned - should we be protecting the magnificent apex predators of the avian world at all costs? Or is the conservation lobby oversimplifying the debate, focussing on emotive issues without sensitivity to the scientific complexities of land management?

Join Mark Cocker (author and naturalist), Mark Avery (writer & conservationist) Jake Fiennes (Estate Manager, Raveningham) and Robin Page (farmer, writer and Chairman of the Countryside Restoration Trust) for this Tooth & Claw Debate – a Question Time for nature lovers that will guarantee to stir up strong emotions on both sides.
