The killing of raptors appears to be growing and growing as are the number of investigations. The Raptor Persecution UK group are investigating three raptors that were killed in my old home county of Lincolnshire. Leave them! Here is an article that tells you the many reasons to do nothing. No need to rake and bag those leaves that are falling. It is also the time of year when you can sit back and relax. We know more now so it is time to see what else I can do. What started with my granddaughter earning badges for her Girl Guides set me on a path to trying, as much as one person can do, to make the future better for her and the animals we both love. I was reminded to take a look at how well my attempts at being ‘green’ are doing. For me, the fact that people, just like you and me, are up in arms about attitudes that do not protect our beloved birds and animals – and fish – is a huge step in letting governments around the world know that we do care and that they must generate programmes to protect our precious wildlife.Īt the same time, the RSPB has a super website (especially an area for teachers) with all kinds of fun facts, activities, and news.

This is not my photo but aren’t these just beautiful birds. It was a first for the garden and today is Big Bird count day! While there are few birds about save for the thousand or more Canada Geese, it was just the smell of the damp leaves underfoot and the warmth of the sun that made the walk so enjoyable today.Īs I am sitting here, a male Northern Flicker is drinking at the bird bath. It was the most amazing day to be out at the nature centre. It is 16 degrees C with clear blue skies and hardly a breeze.
