My most recent gentle reference is of the Arctic Tern, inspired by my recent and perhaps inexplicable desire to write and an illustrate a protest poem celebrating The Big One, a protest organised by Extinction Rebellion. In the three years of Birds Can Fly I have attempted to celebrate the wonderful complexity of the bird world and have been investigating the sometimes troubling history of ornithology. This research and writing has been posted on my blog<\/u><\/a>, which has become a useful resource (for me) to bring own research progress into one place. My thoughts on the nonsensical destruction of the environment has been pretty explicit though I have stopped short of actually protesting on the streets, until now.\u00a0<\/p>

The truth is that since I was born there has been a catastrophic decline in bio-diversity, there are endless statistics available though if you watched the recent Wild Isles series on the BBC, then you\u2019re well aware of the seriousness of the issue. Wild Isles also has some useful resources to help combat the sorrow with some actual action advice, here.<\/u><\/a><\/p>
