Birds of prey get shot so frequently in Yorkshire that reports of new incidents have to qualify that they aren’t the same incidents that happened the previous week. The absolute shame of it 😧.

A sad story about how one man - who has been monitoring a population of marsh tits for 22 generations - is watching them go extinct Richard Broughton 🇺🇦

Like all our soundscape pieces this week, it points to a much bigger story happening all over our planet theguardian.com/environment/20…

This clearly highlights that The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust maybe more of a shooting lobbyist than conservation body and it’s worth noting that Richard Benyon is a keen shooter and former trustee of GWCT . Defra UK will be paying capped costs of £35K to Wild Justice

One candidate has had his property attacked and received death threats for speaking out against raptor persecution, the other has publicly said that “Clearly, any illegal [hen harrier] persecution is not happening”.
I know who’s getting my vote. 👍

This week I will mostly be birding in Menorca while being full of cold. Here’s a Nightingale singing in a flower filled meadow at sunset. Absolute bliss ☺️
