The Sad Demise of Betty
The Sad Demise of Betty the Hen Harrier in June this year and the results of the post mortem isdescribed here.
Thanks for posting that Bruce. I did see the article on Bird Guides but good for everyone to have chance to see how bad this situation is with H H's. appalling that the grouse shooting fraternity are so opposed to harriers and are prepared to break the law in such a manner. What fantastic birds they are. Well done to the RSPB etc for taking up the case.
Did everyone who reads this blog sign the vicarious liability petition? Sadly only about 10,000 signatures were realised I believe. Strangely it wasn't publicised by RSPB with their 1 million plus members, anyone know why?
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
