Hi Peter and all.
This would be a great idea. We should perhaps get into contact with some
"well known" TV personality, Musician, Sporting hero etc, preferably someone
who will apeal to "all ages and backgrounds" and who would help target this
idea to the whole population. Perhaps we may need more than one person to
achieve this, so the appeal goes to a wider community. We should make
protecting birds significant and an urge. At the same time, we should try to
make birdwatching look very interesting. We should try a kill off any old
fashioned ideas to do with bird watching.
