My view right now. Whatever chicks these 2 produce this year will fly off into a safer Scotland thanks to yesterday's Scottish Parliament wildlife/muirburn vote. Thank you RSPB Scotland Ian Thomson Ruth Tingay Jim Fairlie MSP SNP Mark Ruskell Ariane Burgess Raptor Persecution UK & all partners🦅

The Wildlife Management and Muirburn Bill has been overwhelming passed by MSPs, 85 votes to 30. A historic day in the fight against raptor persecution.

📢BREAKING NEWS: An historic day as Scottish Parliament votes through grouse moor licensing!

We did it! Bloody well done, everyone! 👏👏👏
