Well done Ian Cooper (Mountain Escapes) for hosting today’s inaugural Hen Harrier Day Wales, ably assisted by Alan Davies (Birdwatching Trips).
This event was supposed to have taken place at a venue in Snowdonia but obviously covid19 put paid to that, but Ian and co have worked hard to bring the event online and it was live-streamed on Facebook this afternoon from 12-4pm.
The speakers included Iolo Williams, Dr Cathleen Thomas, Alan Davies, Ruth Tingay, Rob Taylor, Dan Rouse and Chris Packham.
For those who missed it, the archive video is now available to watch (and you don’t need a Facebook account to access it). Just click on the video below.
UK Hen Harrier Day will be an online event on Saturday 8 August 2020 – to find more details please visit the website here

What an excellent initiative this is. It is supplementary to the traditional HH Day and cannot help but spread the word about the plight of Hen Harriers. This is a ‘must watch’ blog. Well done to all involved.
An excellent afternoon, even for an Englishman! A few freezes. Some excellent contributors. I noted a maximum of just over 700 watchers at max. Hopefully for the next one, and for these edited catch-ups, we can up that a lot. Thank you.

Ruth, link doesn’t appear to work on iPad. Was it only available for a short time?
[Ed: Hi Paul, the video should still be there. Link appears to works ok from this end. If no luck, head to Facebook and find the Mountain Escapes page and then go to their videos page]
Thanks Ruth
Cracking job! Well done all, let’s hope we can match it on the 8th.
