A Royal Air Force installation has advised local residents to expect elevated activity and sound levels as it conducts its scheduled annual wildlife management exercise.
RAF Benson in the Wallingford area will undertake pest elimination measures as part of its environmental control programme.
The procedure is set for September 16, commencing at 8pm and concluding at 11.59pm.
The culling will occur within the perimeter of the flying field to mitigate risks to aviation safety by controlling wildlife that could pose a threat to aircraft.
A spokesperson for RAF Benson stated that the installation appreciated the patience and backing of neighbouring communities.
Households in the vicinity may observe heightened movement and periodic disturbances throughout the exercise.
All operations will be executed by qualified staff adhering to strict safety guidelines.
This initiative forms part of continuous airfield maintenance efforts to guarantee the secure functioning of aircraft at the facility.
