Fair Game?

There has been a change (described as a 'clarification') in English law. Licenced individuals will be allowed to shoot some wild bird species to 'protect' game birds (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/03/law-change-allows-wild-birds-killed-protect-game-birds-england). 'Game birds' include grouse and pheasants. Shooting them on moorland is big business for certain sections of the landed gentry. So they are only 'protected' until they are themselves shot. The wild birds scheduled for shooting include Carrion crows, Jackdaws, Magpies and Rooks. All these birds are intelligent corvids (members of the crow family). Perhaps other corvids, like the Chough and Jays, will also fall victim to 'gamekeepers'. The licences have also been increased in duration from 1 to 2 years, to give 'stability and certainty'. It's to be wondered if the Scots (they have many grouse moors) will go down the same route? Scottish grouse moor owners are likely to demand parity. One might also ask how much time will elapse, until some birds of prey (raptors) are added to the list of birds that can be shot?
