British Bird Council Consultative Administrator

Roger Caton has studied birds in the wild and bred them under controlled conditions for 40 years. He is a leading expert on several matters associated with birdkeeping as widely various as establishing captive-bred strains of colour variant Common Starlings (learn more) and detecting whether closed bird rings have been tampered with. He refuses to accept that bird fanciers are responsible for the decline in the wild bird population in Britain. He has always claimed that loss of habitat, changes in farming practice and the illegal use of pesticides have had far more of an impact...a view that is now generally accepted.
