We regularly use live predatory falcons and hawks to scare birds away from areas where they are classed as pests such as waste sites, industrial,heritage sites in fact almost anywhere.

Because of our association with birds of prey and the pest control industry we are concerned with the affects of secondary rodenticide poisoning in raptors, especially Kestrels, Tim Lester spent a day with colleagues at the Hawk Conservancy Trust as part of their nest box challenge, together with Chris Packham of BBC Springwatch and many other volunteers we placed Kestrel nest boxes in strategic positions to encourage nesting and breeding throughout Hampshire, the results are being monitored by the Hawk Conservancy Trust and has been an obvious success.
