Before you start

Use this form to submit information about your release of common pheasants or red-legged partridges within a special area of conservation (SAC), or within its 500m buffer zone, in line with the conditions of GL43.

If the release site was also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) you will need to give details in this form of the relevant SSSI consent that you gained.

When to use this service

You should only use this service if you’ve already released common pheasants or red-legged partridges.
You do not need to tell Natural England about birds you intend to release.
