The Sodden 570 (and more) Rise Again

Can you believe it's almost a year since the last Hen Harrier Day. Those who were there last year are probably just about dried out by now, but what else has changed since then?

We are yet to know the success or failure of this year's breeding season, but one thing I do know is that the tide is starting to turn. More and more people are opening their eyes and ears to what is happening to our wildlife.  I think everyone who attended last year's Hen Harrier day went away inspired to spread the word in whatever way they could to the masses.

For me personally, alot of the Hen Harrier message I spread was through using Harry.

However, I have also spoken about raptor persecution at every opportunity, and that is what I would ask all of you to do too. Let your voices be heard and help make a differences. Let's not let money and greed be the factors that decide which of our natural world lives and dies.  

So please, go and join one of the Hen Harrier Day events taking place across the country on 9th August. I will be shouting loud, in fact very loud, at the Goyt Valley in Derbyshire, but you can find your nearest event by clicking here.

And here is a list of all the other things you can do to make the day a success:

Take your MP with you

Make a placard

Wear a Hen Harrier Day T Shirt

Make a 6ft model Hen Harrier

Take your friends and neighbours with you

Tell your local newspapers to be their

Bring a rain coat

Blog about it

Tweet about it

Facebook it

Vlog it

Share pictures about it

Join the Thunderclap

But most of all be there because your heart tells you it's the right thing to do

Please, please try and attend because the more of us raising awareness about the persecution of Hen Harriers, the better the chances of stopping these ghosts of the moors from going extinct in England.
