England I assume. In Scotland there is between 400-600 pairs depending on the figures. RSPB quotes 617 pairs in the UK.

I wouldn't believe anything the RSPB said, those lying b@stards couldn't lie straight in bed at night. Another self serving organisation that will never let facts or the truth get in the way of its twisted agenda.

Apparently there were only 4 breeding pairs last season (RSPB Figures) - when they were directed to others, they claimed they were "Not native" or "not recorded" - it is all about massaging figures to suit their Christmas campaign(s) - they point to Langholm (Where they tagged and monitored birds) claiming that all the tagged birds were "Killed and stolen" - fact is 2 of the tagged birds turned up alive and well in Northern Europe, proving the fact that they can and do migrate) another was killed on the road and several by other birds of prey and foxes (Video footage) - alas they do not believe foxes or other BoP kill them.
