Coming Soon at 200mph!
I'm really delighted by this step towards establishing the @bradperegrines Bradford Peregrine Trail. A website - bradfordperegrines.com/

Our peregrine falcon project seems to be attracting lots of objection. I suspect largely from pigeon fancying lobby groups who object to wildlife eating their unsupervised pets. Please, if you can, support the planning application here - planning.bradford.gov.uk/onl…
I'm really proud to be peripherally involved in this project to celebrate urban wildlife in #Bradford. A positive news story. @ChrisGPackham @BradfordNature

Now that former Shaftesbury Estate Head Keep Paul Allen has been sentenced for wildlife crimes, and it's been revealed that the dead, poisoned White-tailed Eagle was found on the same estate, I think it's worth recalling what our MP Chris Loder had to say about the whole thing.

A strong climber doesn’t automatically make a good route setter, but it’s fair to say that a good setter – at least one that is able to set at competition standard – needs to be a strong climber.
