Petition: Save British Birds of Prey

Petition: Save British Birds of Prey

January 1, 2014February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 1 Comment

Britain’s rarest birds of prey, including red kites, sparrowhawks and peregrine falcons, are being shot, trapped and poisoned in record numbers.

The Red Knot has one of the most impressive migrations in the world, traveling over 9,000 miles twice a year along the Atlantic Flyway from the Arctic to Argentina and back, but habitat and the food resources to fuel this demanding journey have declined, putting these birds at risk.
