A walk over Rombalds Moor yielded virtually no birds. How grouse management is allowed (and get subsidised) to trash SSSIs like this is perverse. It used to be so much better @guyshrubsole.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social #moorland #ukbirding #birding

Cannot believe estates like Bolton Abbey are still allowed to fill the air with pollution on this scale just so there are grouse to be shot. Absolutely disgraceful. #ClimateCrisis @raptorpersuk.bsky.social #biodiversity
