Lockdown was always predicted to be a time when those who persecute Raptors would reap their cruel slaughter. I've watched not so much in dismay, but in a resigned "we told you you so". The short video below I've posted gives a vivid glimpse into what's happening in just one moor. The memory I'll take from it was the alien environment created for Red Grouse, shown in the aerial end shot, a true blot on, and devastation of the landscape.
