Dear Mr Canning
Access to Information Request – Information not held – RFI #620
Thank you for your request for information about:
“Please supply all the information that you hold on the EX-Peregrine falcon nest site at Chattlehope Burn,
Kielder [near Catclough Reservoir on the A68 to the Scottish Boarder] that was monitored by Brian Little for
the Forestry Commission. I am especially interested in the numbered of people that were licensed to
disturb the nest site in 1992 to 1993 and the information people sent in on the EX-nest site over the years. I
am especially interested if you can confirm that the nest site in question always had four egg clutches and
the fact that the 1992 records on the number of eggs laid were not submitted in 1992 yet the years before
and after 1992 were submitted until the site was taken over by ravens?”
which we received on 21 November 2009. Your request has been considered under the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.
Following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have been informed by the Licensing Unit at our
Bristol office and our Bird of Prey Specialist in Peterborough that the information you requested is not held
by Natural England.
I apologise that your request cannot be met but if you have any further information needs in the future then
please contact us.

complaint or request a review of our decision, please contact

If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have
exhausted the complaints procedure provided by Natural England. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at: The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire,
