Over 92,000 e-actions have been taken since Hen Harrier Day, pressing elected politicians to act on wildlife crime and generally on the ecological problems associated with driven grouse shooting. Thank you – it’s an amazing response and I reckon we can reach 100,000 e-actions in the next four and a half days until the e-action…

A response to our e-action by the new leader of the LibDems, Ed Davey
Ed Davey was elected the leader of the LibDems today after one of the most dragged-out elections of all time (but I did make some money betting on it). He has probably had a lot on his mind in the last couple of weeks and this is the rather limp response he has sent his…
Labour steps up, DEFRA steps away
This evening, Labour Deputy Leader, Angela Rayner, is chatting live to Chris Packham on his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ChrisGPackham/ and his Twitter feed (@chrisgpackham) at 7pm about the Wild Justice, Hen Harrier Action and RSPB e-action – see here. Good for her and this will be very helpful in raising the issue among Labour supporters. In…
A ministerial response to the e-action from Wales
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….
