This news item is interesting – a potential community buy-out at Leadhills brought to us by Raptor Persecution Scotland.
I’d chip in £50 to the community, as would many other birders I guess.
John Armitage’s e-petition has taken a bit of a leap forward in the last few days and is now at 7596 signatures. Please sign if you think it is a good idea and please bring it to the notice of others.
And here is the type of reason why raptors need stronger protection (although I know nothing about this particular case).

Put me down for £50, too – and if we get payment by results, I wonder how much England’s only successful Hen Harriers would be worth – enough to protect them + manage the moors ?
You do realize we’ll hold the pair of you to it!!
I’m actually one of the group proposing this.
The meeting is 2.30pm on Saturday. Anyone localish please turn up if you are around as the passionate voices the better!!
Emma – the best of luck!
