Every spring farmers and crofters in parts of Scotland face the unsustainable situation of white-tailed eagles preying on healthy newborn lambs to feed their young.
NFU Scotland (NFUS) has demanded that the Scottish government’s nature agency NatureScot now takes real and meaningful action to control the birds that have come to see livestock as a food source.
