NO, I’m not making it up.
An “amber protected bird” is nesting on A range backstop and therefore the MoD have closed the range temporarily until the eggs have hatched.
There are no suitable substitute dates within two months, so with considerable rerget we have to CANCEL this shoot.
B*&&3R !
We will have a work party at the Sheepshed instead – although that’s not really a substitute!
We need to repair the range CCTV system, paint the range floor, service the backstop, repair the rifle racks and many other general cleaning and minor fixing jobs.
