WILD BIRDS PROTECTION IN ENGLAND.
The protection of wild birds in England appears to have reached a similar position to that in evidence in New Zealand. A multiplicity of administrative bodies and a corresponding complex number of regulations and rules are hampering the work. A Bill is therefore now before the British House of Commons, aimed mainly at remedying this state of affairs, and making the operations of the collector more difficult and more easily checked. With this in view, the penalty for possessing the skins of birds and eggs is increased. With the object of better advising the authorities, various committees of experts are to be set up. This manner of dealing with collectors’ permits has already been suggested to the Minister in charge in this Dominion; but the offer to assist so far has been declined.
