Writing this in the dry lands of Bedfordshire – it’s obvious we really need rain! The drought is worsening from Thursday 5 April a hosepipe ban will come into force. There’s no doubt the drought will feature in these pages over the coming weeks – but for now here’s a helpful link to Anglian Water’s new Drop20 campaign.
If you’ve just linked to this blog from the RSPB e-newsletter and were expecting to read something about the outcome of all our recent campaigning – click here (you’re welcome to click anyway, even if you haven’t journeyed here from the e-newsletter!)
While you’re in clicking mood – I’ve been contributing the Skydancer blog adding a perspective from 30 years ago when I started my first RSPB job in Lancashire’s Forest of Bowland, protecting hen harriers. Three decades later the current team is still engaged in what remains the only regular breeding location for hen harriers in England.
