According to recommendations presented by the Ornis Committee to the Prime Minister, hunting from land should be allowed from September the 1st to January the 31st, and hunting at sea should start on October the 1st to January the 31st.
The Ornis Committee is also recommending that the autumn trapping season should close beyond December the 31st, this is in spite of a ban stipulated by the EU Birds Directive against trapping after that date.
The Committee is actually proposing to disregard the directive and open the season for the trapping of turtle dove and quail between September the 1st and January the 31st and for song thrush and golden plover between October the 20th and January the 10th.
