I and a colleague, who does much work for the Essex Wildlife Trust, attended the ‘Hen Harrier Day’ protest event on Sunday, at Derwent Water in the Peak District. It was heartening to mingle with so many like-minded folk who are appalled at the persecution of raptors across the grouse moors. And even more dismayed…

Hen Harrier Day – some ‘thank you’s
I was thanked a lot on Saturday, Sunday and subsequently for organising the Hen Harrier Day event in the Peak District. It really didn’t take much organising – it took a bit of nerve though!

The Hen Harrier thunderclap
It may be as recently as a year ago I’d never heard of a social media thunderclap. What it is, is this. If you have an account on social media (eg Twitter) you can send out messages which might be seen by all the people that ‘follow’ you. A social media thunderclap is where lots …
