Lamping legalities

Can someone tell me when and how lamping is legal?
I am thinking mostly of foxes, rabbits, rats, and birds. And possibly other small critters. Is it legal to go lamping after the animals I named?
Thanks
Carter

Once you've permission from the landowner. Vermin birds can be lamped afaik for pest control but not game fur or feather can be lamped.

Can lamp all year for pest control but tbh I only lamp from September to March. I think it's important to keep a season having said that if a farmer is loosing stock then needs must.

Vermin such as rats rabbits and foxes can be lamped all year round but for rabbits and foxes I lamp from September to st Patrick’s day weekend and give break for summer unless causing damage I am not sure about birds
