Dear Sir or Madam,

Please give me a list of:

1] Every Falconidae that was covered in 1995 in relation to the legal requirement to be registered, with the falcon’s Latin names, under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

2] A complete list of every Falconidae that occurs naturally in the wild with their Latin names?

Please separate the Latin names of all the Falconidae that occur in the wild naturally and all of the Falconidae that needed to be registered in 1995?

Yours faithfully,

Derek Canning LLB[hons]

Dear Cotterill, Chris (AH),
