Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the licensing authority responsible for granting general licences for the control of wild birds in Wales. Defra officials discuss general licensing issues with NRW staff as appropriate. This includes the recent changes to the 2022 Welsh general licences for the control of wild birds.
