On a warm summer’s day I spent an enjoyable few hours contributing to a piece to be screened on tonight’s One Show. As is often the case with doing a bit of tele – there’s quite a lot of waiting, made all the more pleasant by being sat in the fragrant heather watching hen harriers and peregrines (possibly descendants of birds I was helping to protect nearly 30 years ago) .
The reason for the interest in eagle owls (the piece’s focus) is the issues the presence of such spectacular top predators set up home in the English countryside. The issue has been covered in other places (here’s Mark Avery on the subject) and it will be interesting to see what you think about the way the issues come across.
