Abstract

The Regulations amend the definition of "wild bird" in section 27 of the Act which now includes any species which is ordinarily resident in or is a visitor to the European Territory of any member State. Regulation 3 makes consequential changes to the defence provided under section 1(3) of the Act. Regulations 1 and 5 ensure that the amendments to Part 1 of the Act apply in relation to England only as the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora is a devolved matter as regards Wales.
