Have you ever wondered about the state of the UK's birds

If you ever just stand out there in your garden and the street and take a bit of pleasure in the call and activity of the birds around you, have a look on the internet for; The State of the UK's Birds 2015.

You could try looking at the websites of the BTO or the RSPB, go on have a look and if you are not concerned at what you see you are a braver than me. The situation for farmland birds is to my mind dire, and other groups are faring badly as well.

The problem is of course birds are the thin end of the wedge, other animal/wildlife groups such as reptiles and plants are also faring badly and we are supposed to love wildlife in this country.

Walk outside again and listen to those birds or watch them feeding, then think what if they were not there, what would you think would it mean anything to you. To me it would mean the loss of a very important part of my soul.

We should all be worried and asking why and what can we do.
