Do the RSPB cull foxes?

For example, in 2016-2017, the RSPB killed 661 crows and 434 foxes in the UK. ... Furthermore, if the RSPB's experiment shows that culling does increase curlew numbers, we expect it will be rolled out – meaning an even greater slaughter. Using the RSPB's own figures there are 68,000 breeding pairs of curlew in Britain.
