I've just heard (and I really hope this is wrong) that the RSPB is making mass redundancies on all of its staffed reserves, potentially as many as two thirds of staff. I hope an official update is coming out soon as I feel the membership should know exactly what is happening - and why it is happening.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Not sure liking is quite how I'd like to respond, it's more an acknowledgment to the posting. I hadn't long seen Mark Avery's mention of the redundancies. I think I can safely say the RSPB isn't alone as far as conservation organisations having financial issues either.

Yeah, I get that. It's terrible, isn't it?
