Stepping up for nature - that's our latest campaign and you'll hear much more about it over the next weeks, months and years.
There was an interesting piece on the Today programme this morning (at about 0740) with RSPB spokespeople and the Defra Secretary of State, Caroline Spelman, as well as Farming Today and an early start for me on BBC Breakfast.
Mrs Spelman said some nice things about the RSPB and the need for our campaign.
Today there is also a hand-in of the 350,000+ signatures from Letter to the Future into 10 Downing Street, an event for some of our campaigning members and another event this evening where Caroline Spelman will talk to us.
It's a long day but a good one.
Why don't the RSPB accept that a lot of this farmland bird decline is due to the increase in predators such as birds of prey and badgers? The British Trust for Ornithology recognise this issue but the RSPB seems to just keep on pressing for more environmental regulations. Some of us are wondering whether the RSPB want more CAP money directed towards environmental projects as they are funded so heavily by CAP money themselves. Please take off your blinkers and look at what is actually going on, badger populations are exploding as are birds of prey and they've got to eat something!
