Sobering stuff. Our British birds are going going about to be gone, and then no more will we hear the skylark's 'profuse strains of unpremeditated art', or see the yellowhammer perched in a hedge, brightening the countryside and probably your day with its attractive colour. 17 other avian species inhabiting the British countryside are also at risk, including the lapwing and the kestrel.
If you need cheering up after reading this, I bet there are some gawky goslings in a river near YOU that would be delighted to have you pay a visit. Especially if you came bearing bread.
