What some people say about Inglorious
Here are a few quotes from emails and tweets about Inglorious: ‘I’ve just finished ‘Inglorious’ and I have to say I’m impressed. You’ve written a masterpiece of clarity and persuasion.’ ‘Yes I think it WILL be a classic of conservation but only in the UK. Nowhere else would it be necessary’ ‘Yr book Inglorious…
What some other papers say
In a long piece in the Daily Record on Saturday, Annie Brown (The true cost of grouse shooting) talks about the move to ban driven grouse shooting, and quotes me extensively. In the Glasgow Herald, there is a piece entitled ‘Calls mount for ban on grouse shooting‘ where an animal welfare charity, OneKind, formerly known…
A selection of quotes from reviews of Inglorious
My publisher actually told me that Inglorious is ‘selling well’ which you practically never hear from a publisher. It’s a book that is intended to educate and entertain, but also to get you fired up and wanting to do something to change the world. One thing I would like you to do is to sign…
Yes (from the) Minister!
Rory Stewart is a new Defra minister and everyone says that he seems his own man and a bright guy. Certainly, he looks like he is a rather different kettle of fish from recent Defra ministers. So I thought that it would be worth the following gambit on Twitter: @markavery: Minister, if I send u…
Henry is puzzled
Henry is confused – but then, he only has the brain of a bird.

Chris talks to Charlie Moores about Hen Harriers and Hen Harrier Day, Cecil the Lion, hatred and deep loathing, the state of wildlife NGOs, the BTO, looking at butterflies and what the future…
Closer and closer to the Goyt Valley
Comments Off on Closer and closer to the Goyt Valley
Henry has been flying around now for months and months. He started his journey around the country after the BAWC conference in Buxton in late March and is now, here, almost back to where he started. He’s looking forward to meeting people at Hen Harrier Eve on Saturday evening (ticket sales have closed) and then…
It’s traditional
I was posting some (free!) copies of Inglorious to various points of the compass where Hen Harrier Day events are happening and the lady in the post office and I had the following exchange: Her: What is in the parcels? Me: Books Her: Are they valuable? Me: Priceless! I wrote them and have signed…
Henry finds some more friends in the Peak District
As we move closer and closer to Hen Harrier Day on Sunday, Henry met up with friends from the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust – strong supporters of Hen Harrier Day. On the left is Tim Birch who wrote a Guest Blog for this site last year. This photo was taken a while ago and yesterday Tim…
