Unless you've been going round with your eyes closed recently, you've probably noticed a certain red squirrel popping up all over the place lately, going by the name of Bob! So who is Bob?

Well, Bob is a representative of nature. He is standing for all nature and natural places, and he wants to preserve and protect it for future generations. He doesn't feel that politicians care enough about our environment and he wants to join us all together in preparation for next year's general election and let the government know we won't accept no for an answer. Nature needs protection!

People from all over the country have gone onto Bob's website to register their support for nature and pledge to back him in getting nature on the political agenda. At last look 76,553 people have signed! If you want to add your name, just follow this link, it just takes 2 minutes - https://www.voteforbob.co.uk/.

Here at the RSPB we strongly support Bob's campaign and we would like it if all of you could do your bit in voting too! Go to the Vote For Bob website or alternatively pop into the office on your next visit to Rye Meads and vote with us there.

Here's how we've been spreading the word here and at The Lodge reserve lately! If you think you can do better, create your own scene and then reply to this blog with a picture of it or share it with us on facebook and twitter. Tell your friends and let's all get behind this little squirrel!
