| Lapwing - the choice of Arundel MP Nick Herbert |
ONE of the most encouraging of recent initiatives by the RSPB has involved inviting MPs to 'champion' individual birds in the hope that this will promote wildlife and the welfare of the environment.
So far the take-up has been modest, but maybe more will sign up in the coming months.
In the meantime, congratulation to these 17 pioneer parliamentarians:
Jake Berry (curlew)
James Cartlidge (turtle dove)
Therese Coffey (bittern)
Mark Garnier (lesser spotted woodpecker)
Nick Herbert (lapwing)
Kevin Hollinrake (puffin)
Kerry McCarthy (swift)
Jess Phillips (dunnock)
Rebecca Pow (snipe)
Angela Smith (hen harrier)
Caroline Spellman (willow tit)
Derek Thomas (Manx shearwater)
Kelly Tolhurst (nightingale)
Anna Turley (little tern)
Matt Warman (redshank)
Gavin Williamson (barn owl
Sarah Wollaston (cirl bunting)
