Mysterious black netting on hedges!

No quite seriously released pheasants can and are causing destruction of hedges particurlarly noted on shoots in and around Exmoor.

google : pheasants netting hedges, and there are a few pages dedicated to the environmental concerns of RSPB etc... even a white paper ....
