Considering the small number of grouse moors in Wales then this is a pretty good response from the Welsh Government Minister for Environment, Energy and Rural Affairs, Lesley Griffiths. This statement was made in response to the large number of e-actions taken by people in Wales expressing their concern at the status of Hen Harriers…

How many Hen Harriers bred in England this year?
It’s late August and no announcement has been made as to how many Hen Harriers bred, and where, and with what nesting success in England this year. That’s a bit odd. The much-trumpeted DEFRA/NE/shooting organisations ‘joint’ action plan for Hen Harriers published in 2016 has monitoring of Hen Harriers as its first, out of six,…

You’re not impressed
These are just a few of the comments I’ve seen from participants in the Wild Justice, RSPB, Hen Harrier Action e-action to responses they have been sent by Tory MPs – just a few. If MPs saw the reactions of their constituents to their haughty, evasive and misleading responses they might think again – or…

I purchased this piece of artwork (by Patricia Malcolm) in the Hen Harrier Day auction. I’m very pleased with it. It will look down at me as I sit at a computer.

I never really thought that when Wild Justice, Hen Harrier Action and the RSPB started this e-action on Hen Harrier Day that we might get to 100,000 participants in such a short time, and by the end of August, but now I’ll be just a little disappointed if we don’t. There are six days left…
E-action – Northern Ireland
There arent many grouse moors in Northern Ireland, but that hasn’t stopped the joint Wild Justice, Hen Harrier action, RSPB e-action from being strongly supported. Thank you for such amazing support! Belfast South has been the constituency with the strongest support with its GreenParty, Sinn Fein, DUP, Alliance and SDLP Assembly representatives receiving 130 e-actions….
E-action – top Welsh constituencies
There arent many grouse moors in Wales but that hasn’t stopped the joint Wild Justice, Hen Harrier action, RSPB e-action from being strongly supported. Thank you for such amazing support! The top Welsh Assembly constituencies are (Blue – Welsh Conservatives; Orange – Welsh LibDems, Green – Plaid Cymru): Montgomeryshire, 545 e-actions Brecon and Radnorshire, 518…
Thank you Mr Pursglove
Of course I participated in the e-action like 84,000+ others but I also dropped my MP a line to warn him that I’d rather he didn’t send me the nonsense that other Conservative MPs were sending out at the time. This afternoon I received this response with which I am entirely content insofar as Mr…
A 10-point plan to respond to your Conservative MP in England
This post refers to the e-action by Wild Justice, Hen Harrier Action and the RSPB which already has had over 83,000 participants. The biggest single group of recipients of these actions have been Conservative MPs in England just because there are a lot of them – all have been contacted by constituents. If you have…
