Reflections on the Bird Fair
I enjoyed it! I always enjoy it. 1. Henry the Hen Harrier I wasn’t sure about Henry when the idea was first mooted – all sounded a bit silly to me. But it has worked very well in practice – I should have had more faith, or more imagination, or more of both. At…

Henry at the Bird Fair – Day 3 (6 and last)
A few more photos – thanks to everyone for being such good sports. And being so friendly. The Wildlife Trusts are, of course, co-organisers of the Bird Fair with the RSPB, and it takes place on a Leics and Rutland WT nature reserve each year. A bif ‘Thanks!’ to them. Henry can count on…

Henry at the Bird Fair – Day 3 (2)
Henry knew he was amongst friends at the Bird Fair because he kept seeing (and there were a lot) Hen Harrier T-shirts walking towards him.

And that e-petition…
Our e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting passed the 14,000 signature mark yesterday. 14,000 isn’t 140,000 but it is a lot of signatures. 14,000 signatures was reached in c33 days, less than five weeks. Last year it took eleven weeks to get to the same total. Just more evidence that awareness is growing and spreading…
