“First they will ignore you, then they will laugh at you, then they will fight you, then you will win.”
                       Gandhi (Quoted by Chris Packham, Hen Harrier day 10/08/14)


The inglorious twelfth has dawned but the fight goes on.



Members of Liverpool RSPB braved the wrath hurricane Big Bertha along with hundreds of others to support the Hen Harrier day.  
Dunsop Bridge protest
A soggy but inspiring day at Dunsop Bridge .  Terry from the Northwest Raptor Group gave us a talk on the persecution of raptors in the Bowland area, maddening tales of shot adults and ‘trodden into the ground’ chicks, and not just Harriers, Peregrines and the sad tale of the Bowland Goshawk, stopped from nesting in at tree, chose to nest on the ground…returning conservationists checking on it, found the nest trashed, eggs smashed, adult  shot dead.


Terry and Andrea made it to Northumberland to protest
