Capercaillie breeder in RAF row

Quote:
A Capercaillie breeder has claimed that his birds are being damaged as a result of low-flying RAF jets.

Alistair Mackie, from Huntly, said the rare grouse are being spooked by the aircraft and in some cases are dying as a result.

He is appealing to the Royal Air Force to change their flight path.

Interesting..
I know chickens can sometimes be startled by low aircraft (although mine are afraid of nothing!) thinking them to be birds of prey, this must be a similar thing.
