Sir, – I think the RSPB should put its own house in order before telling others what to do (D&S letters, Nov 21).

Would it like to explain how it is that people pay to go duck shooting on a thousand acres of land belonging to RSPB in Northumberland. My cousins go there to shoot duck so I know it is true. Would the organisation like to explain this?
