Mark Avery probably thinks we’re stalking him. We’ve posted quite a few of his thoughts on this site in recent weeks, and here are some more…
Mark, former RSPB Conservation Director, has a lively blog and he’s also started to produce monthly ‘newsblasts’ – in these he discusses a particular topic in more depth than he would on his daily blog, and he then emails the ‘newsblast’ to his (presumably) long list of subscribers.
His August newsblast is all about grouse moors – very topical as we approach the opening of the grouse-shooting season on the inglorious 12th August. It’s written for the reader who has scant prior knowledge of grouse moors but it also debunks a few myths about the notorious Langholm Study, which makes it interesting reading material for those with a more advanced knowledge of grouse moors. He also talks a bit about illegal raptor persecution, a topic that seems intrinsically linked to grouse moor management.
Understandably, Mark doesn’t want his newsblast re-posted on other websites so we can’t post it here. Fair enough – he wants to attract readers to his own blog. His newsblast doesn’t appear to be posted on his blog, but you can subscribe to it, free of charge on his website, and have it emailed directly to your inbox. Highly recommended.
