Standing up for Nature
Here I am talking to BAWC‘s Charlie Moores to raise the profile of Hen Harriers and Hen Harrier Day – click here to hear why I launched this e-petition. ‘A very long time – and almost complete failure – there are fewer Hen Harriers now…’ ‘Things have got worse – they haven’t got better’…
