Those of you who follow the bird of prey online community will no doubt have picked up news of Hen Harrier Day, this Sunday 10 August, and we thought that those of you who haven't yet heard about it might be keen to find out what you can do to support it.

Hen Harrier Day is a day of awareness-raising and peaceful protest against the continued illegal persecution of birds of prey, in particular the many hundreds of ‘missing’ pairs of hen harriers peer-reviewed research suggests our upland landscapes could and should support were it not for this persecution. It’s organised by Birders Against Wildlife Crime and former RSPB Conservation Director Mark Avery, with the support and backing of several other wildlife groups, of whom the RSPB is of course one.

So what can you do?

  1. Attend a Hen Harrier Day event
