My new website

Considering the last one got such a lot of attention from the anti pigeon brigade and was quoted on many bop and birding sites. Also to the person who thought they was clever hijacking the save our pigeons site. Well this is for them.

Hope you enjoy it Mike Price and Jason Fisher and the rest of the extremist bop brigade. It's also good that the RSPB have actually seen the Raptor Work Groups for what they really are and revoked their licenses, maybe now they won't break law as much as they was by continually trespassing on private land and making false accusations.
It's also funny that since we brought up the topic of Eagle Owls in Bowland and other places, they have been spotted and reported to be safe and sound, lets hope this is true and they allowed to continue to re establish themselves unhindered.

well done gary a lot of work gone in to that lets hope more of the public see it cus they benifit from our kindness what do the bop brigade do come on show us your good deeds for the public as gary says he could add to that page many times pigeon men never stop helping

gary, the homepage of your site isnt showing the photos on my computer, is it me or the photos have been moved...? all i see is a square with a red cross in the corner.

the other pages are all ok.

mine is ok....well done garry well done indeed

Cheers g, this is what I want people to see mate. How we are a force of good people, not the raptor poisoners the raptor brigade say we are.
After all we are just normal everyday people, with no hidden agendas.
As a collective we have much compassion to our fellow man and will support many good causes to ensure the less fortunate may have a better quality of life.
We don't say lets not bother about the small kid, who needs an operation to give him a better chance in life.
But instead give the money to protect to some charity to protect a wild savage bird that is decimating our sport and wildlife.
We live in the real world mate and where it comes to a decision like that then I'm afraid our fellow man will win every time.
Cheers Ray, a lot of thought has gone into this one.
It all seems to working OK David.

just tried it on the main pc gary, its working fine......must be the laptop...

well done Gary brilliant job in my opinion you are the champion of the fancy the tireless work you have done to highlight the fancys plight and the many great deeds the fancy has done bringing it to the publics attension well done mate all the best keep up the good work sean

Thanks for that Sean, its much appreciated mate.
It's certainly shut the other side up, trying to show us as a bunch of criminals.
How dare they.
Like everyone has said, what do they do, except try and be so high and mighty.
If anybody is criminals its them and it proves it, even the RSPB have now seen them for what they really are by taking away their licences, my heart bleeds. Not!

Save nature with a bucket


Hello!

We're looking for people to help us during Love Nature Week. Can you spare a morning or an afternoon to join in?

What's it all about?


We'll be hitting the UK's shops and streets between Saturday 26 May and Sunday 3 June.

Bucket collections are easy, fun and
really rewarding. You'll be part of a fundraising team with a great
track record - last year we collected £35,000 in cash donations in just a
week.

That's pretty amazing! And if you bring a friend it's double the fun.

We're down your way


There's a collection taking place near
you, and the great thing is that the donations you collect will be going
to help conservation work in the Midlands.

Here's just a taster of the kind of work we can do, thanks to support from people like you.

We're working with local farmers. For
example, we help George Eaton make his farm better for treasured birds
like tree sparrows, grey partridges and reed buntings. Our volunteers'
surveys and expert advice really help him to plan what to do.

With our support, George gives hundreds of local schoolchildren each year the opportunity to get close to nature on the farm.

In Mike's view...

Sometimes we need to find new ways of fixing old problems. Sometimes we have to recognise that the old, tried and tested solutions are no longer working, or that they aren’t working quickly enough.

So it is with the environmental crisis that the world is facing. It’s not that people haven’t tried. It’s more that the scale of the solutions haven’t matched the scale of the problem. And that gap is widening, not closing.
Working together

Conservation charities like the RSPB have been pretty good at shaping the priorities and decisions of governments.

We have also managed to shape public opinion by raising awareness of some of the world’s problems and by suggesting some answers. But we also need to start working with big businesses.

Businesses and their customers are, as we know, amongst the biggest consumers of the planet’s resources. Many businesses are also very well placed to influence the choices we make as individuals.

Big problems require big solutions. To make an impact, we have to think big

Great initiatives by any one of these sectors can’t save our planet on their own. If all three take independent action, we stand a slightly better chance.

But if we work together, combining our efforts, our influence and our expertise, we can imagine a world where our precious landscapes are no longer being lost, where our wildlife is protected and where our natural resources are being safeguarded for future generations.
Big solutions

But big problems require big solutions. To make an impact, we have to think big. And that’s why we’ve decided to join forces with the UK’s biggest retailer, Tesco, to help raise awareness of the continuing crisis of our disappearing rainforests, by raising essential funds to support vital on-the-ground conservation.

Our new partnership, Together for Trees, aims to raise over £1 million in its first year through corporate donations. This money will be spent on rainforest projects across the world, helping us to continue the challenging restoration work that we are already doing in places like Indonesia and Sierra Leone.

That’s not the whole story. Through Together For Trees, Tesco are committed to working with us to reduce the impact of their supply chains on the environment. That way, we can address a number of environmental issues at their source.
Renewed hope

The scale of the Earth’s problems can be daunting to individuals like you and me. How, you might ask, can my contribution make a difference?

Well, that’s one of the advantages of working with big corporates. Tesco’s customer base is so huge that small donations can add up to impressive, game-changing sums. Lots of small steps can help us to make giant strides towards the ambitious goal of zero net deforestation by 2020.

Will our partnership with Tesco provide a solution to an age-old problem? Not on its own, certainly. But support from a major global business and the opportunity to inspire more people to play their part can certainly give us renewed hope.

You would think for a 100K a year, he could make a better statement.

it seems the government are to relax building regulations on green belt land.....the do gooders will be spitting feathers wont they as this will take away "natural habitat" for some of the birds they protect, lets see what they have to say about it............

They think it's a victory according to their website.
But they are having a tantrum because Natural England have been mentioning scrapping the wildlife act.
Everybody now needs to be putting the pressure on, as they can't fight everyone off.

a victory, in what way...? how do they think its a victory when green belt is being built on

It's here mate

they all talk in riddles gary, "much needed growth, vital homes and creating jobs" what they really mean is because the country has been swamped by imigrants they need to build more homes to house them in, and most of any jobs created will go to them as well.........

Lets be honest David.
They talk utter crap.
So long as the BOPS are looked after, they couldn't give a toss.
It's quite clear, they have tunnel vision where it comes to protecting wildlife.
The dwindling numbers of starlings.
Would it not be fair to say these are a prey species.
Would it not also be fair to say, that since the numbers of sparrowhawks and peregrines have dramatically increased, then their numbers have rapidly declined.
It's not rocket science.
First the sparrow, then the starling, next the blackbird.
When will they listen.
The argument used to be that these birds are prolific breeders, but when one of a pair gets taken, then they cannot breed, simple.
Hence the decline.
When youngsters fledge, so do the sparrowhawks, so the fledgeling's are decimated.
How much clearer does it have to be made before they listen
