I've only ever met three (as far as I know). One was a really nice bloke, helpful, informative and knowledgeable. The other two I'm afraid I was less impressed with - one made a habit of destroying Hen Harrier nests on a moor I knew in mid-Wales and the other won't tolerate any raptor on "his" land. I'm sure the best are very good, but it seems as if there's still some bad eggs in the profession.
