Ornis recommends three-week Spring hunting season

The Ornis committee has recommended a three-week Spring hunting season. The committee, which met this afternoon, discussed a derogation from EU rules to allow Spring hunting and recommended that the season should be open between April 10 and 30. A final decision has to be taken by the government. A hunting season for quails and turtle doves was open last year from April 12 to 30, both days included.
