With the HQ of RSPB in Beds it does make me wonder if some staff are signing the petition.I am making an effort to speak to birders in the field and most of those I have spoken to have either signed or say they will not being aware of the petition. Many birders are not on social media and are not aware of the petition. There are those that would sign but do not have a computer or Internet and some who do not want to. Very surprised to meet a game keeper on my local patch given that it is a local trust gravel pit who wouldn't sign. If everyone else who supports the petition took the same approach we might get it to 100,000 by September. Joan</blockquote>
