Whether you can or can’t attend Hen Harrier Eve, and whether you can or can’t attend Hen Harrier Day, you can, if you use social media, add your name to a message that will go around the world at 10am on Hen Harrier Day saying:
“We’re missing our Hen Harriers – and we want them back!”
Nothing controversial there.
This thunderclap is zinging along! It has now easily passed the 500 people threshold so it will be broadcast on 9 August to a ‘social reach’ which currently stands at over 1.4 million. Last year, by Hen Harrier Day, the social reach was well over 2 million people. Let’s see how high we can get it – please sign up here!
Since this message is completely uncontroversial I would expect support from the following organisations and individuals, and would be grateful if they could confirm it:

I’ll keep you updated on progress with this list, but I may miss sign-up by the organisations with a smaller social reach and so an email would be appreciated.
And it is possible to join the thunderclap through Facebook and tumblr too.
