Lucky-Hunter supports the Waterfowlers’ Network and thus the migratory birds’ breeding grounds and basis of life

Every year in the autumn we have the pleasure of large numbers of migratory birds heading south in Europe before returning to their breeding grounds high up in the northern part of Scandinavia in the spring.

Among the migratory birds are huntable ducks such as wigeon, teal, pintail and golden eyes, whose primary breeding areas extend from northern Scandinavia and eastwards.

Unfortunately the migratory ducks breeding areas are in danger in the north. Many waterbird species are facing serious habitat loss, low breeding success and increased predation pressure along the flyway,

The Waterfowlers’ Network is an association of hunting organization in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Ireland.

The top priority of Waterfowlers’ Network is to encourage and facilitate the contribution of Northwest European hunters to cross-border management and sustainable use of huntable waterbirds. This work will include various efforts such as collection of harvest bag data, promotion of wing surveys and contributions towards new management plans for waterbirds.

The vision is to ensure sustainable waterfowling opportunities for future generations.
