Hello Kiriak,
That's due to the fact that Natural England took over administration/issue of the General Licences.
The information is available on their website at the address below

Thought the JAY was now off the licence.........any comments
Chinese springer 0.22, HW100 .177. Selection of powder burners
When there were extra pies to eat, I avoided them.
Hello Johnny,
Not as far as I'm aware. Jays are still a legal quarry species but many same as myself tend not to shoot them. They are a member of the Corvid family rooks, crows, jackdaws, magpies etc probably why they're included but I'm not sure. If you look under WML Gen- L05 on the Natural England website it says the following :-
1. The purposes for which this licence is granted are preventing the spread of disease and preventing
serious damage to livestock, foodstuffs for livestock, crops, vegetables, fruit, growing timber, fisheries
or inland waters.
2. Subject to the terms and conditions below, and for the purposes set out in paragraph (1) above, this
licence permits:
(i) any authorised person to kill or take any of the wild birds listed in this subparagraph, to take,
damage or destroy their nests or to take or destroy their eggs:
Greater Canada Goose Branta canadensis
Crow Corvus corone
Dove, Collared Streptopelia decaocto
Gull, Great Black-backed Larus marinus
Gull, Lesser Black-backed Larus fuscus
Gull, Herring Larus argentatus
Jackdaw Corvus monedula
Jay Garrulus glandarius
Magpie Pica pica
Pigeon, Feral Columba livia
Rook Corvus frugilegus
Woodpigeon Columba palumbus
Hope this helps
Regards

Which one of them damages growing timber
Hello JRDS,
I think it's more to do with damaging the fruit trees by eating the buds rather than physically damaging the structure. I suppose them eating the buds would make the tree less prolific in it's growth cycle but as I'm no botanist I can't say.
Hope this helps

i see they have removed greater black back gull and herring gull but added parakeets but the lesser black back is still on the list
perhaps these gulls are becoming rare like starlings, well in front of the countryside alliance HQ office window anyway
chippy
If you are not in England you need to find the correct one for your location.
Be it Wales,Scotland etc.
Not sure about Scotland but you definately need the correct one in Wales.
I believe it is different in Wales. Was, anyway, a few years ago. I think sparrows and starlings were allowed. Mick.
the general licence as i understand it is a code to adhere to rather than something you have to apply for, also i think the semi auti issue applies to shotguns held on a shotgun certificate as opposed to a section one firearms certificate, A shotgun held on a shotgun certificate can only have capacity for two rounds in the mag and one round in the breech I think, wheras a shotgun held on a section one may exceed this capacity, as far as I am aware, hope that helps mate
it seems your never to old to learn, its the first ive heard of these licences, but will print a copy and add it to my folder of credentrials, cant have too much proof of being a responsible shooter in my opinion, it all helps in aquiring permision, good stuff.
