10 Things to do on Day 1 of the Bird Fair

  1. Remember your entrance ticket – if you purchased in advance!
  2. Rain is forecast – you may need to bring a coat and wellies
  3. You will need some money for buying books, beer and butties
  4. Come to the Q&A on driven grouse shooting at the Events Marquee at 16:30 and ask a difficult question of someone else on the panel
  5. If you would like to sign the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting then you should be able to do so on the BAWC stand, the LACS stand and the Rare Bird Alert stand (and maybe elsewhere too)
  6. If you would like to take away leaflets to promote the e-petition then they will be available from the BAWC stand – while stocks last.
  7. BAWC’s Charlie Moores and Badger Trust’s Dominic Dyer are on stage in the Events Marquee at 1pm with thewonderful Mike Dilger
  8. You should say ‘Hi!’ and ‘Well done!’ to Chris Packham wherever you see him today.
  9. Although Chris Packham isn’t so keen on hugs, a Hen Harrier called Henry likes a quick friendly cuddle, so say hello to him if the weather doesn’t ground him for too much of the day.
  10. Come and say hello to me – I’m quite friendly too, and am available for cuddles

  1. Eleventh thing to do. Get someone else to sign the petition.
    Back to 114,000 after yesterday’s seemingly good run. Aarrrrgghh!
    Cuddle Henry and kick a bot.

  2. The good news is that it seems the Petitions Office can pick up even small bot interventions. I hope they are looking at the stone curlew petition too.

  3. They are becoming more subtle, not that that would be too difficult. Annoying, but as this is nothing less than an attack on the democratic process I sincerely hope that the relevant authorities try and find the culprits. Wouldn’t it be good if we found out exactly who they are and why they are doing it? We pretty much know as with missing hen harriers, but irrefutable truth would change everything.

  4. The petition website has had an upgrade. It now updates automatically, you don’t need to refresh the screen to see the latest count. I hope there are some security improvements too!
