What the patron of the RSPB did .. on the RSPB's Birdwatch day
By Aidan Mcgurran 28/01/2008
The Queen picks up dead pheasants as the RSPB, which has her as its
patron, holds a nationwide birdwatching event.
She even prised a bird from the jaws of a gundog as thousands of UK
bird lovers counted species from their homes as part of the Big Garden
Birdwatch.
Princess Anne, 57, clubbed an injured bird to put it out of its misery
on the Sandringham shoot. Animal Aid said: "The season ends on
February 1.
They could not resist firing off another bloody volley."
The RSPB said: "We have no opinion on the ethics of shooting game
birds as long as it is done within the law."

A correct position for them. There is nothing
unethical about hunting.
