BASC Scotland director Colin Shedden said: “BASC has been involved in recent discussions involving wildfowling on Findhorn Bay and is supportive of the voluntary approach for the coming season.
“We hope that this will give wildfowling on the Bay a sustainable future.
“We expect that any lessons learned from this approach will guide the more permanent arrangements envisaged by Moray Council.”

A decision by the Scottish government to ban snares would be catastrophic to threatened bird species, including the iconic capercaillie.
BASC is considering legal action to challenge the potential licensing of gamebird releasing in Wales from 2025.
