To do nothing about the decline in our native and migrating bird population was making me feel anxious, apathetic and part of the problem.  I felt the need to try and do something so that I can at least say "I tried I did not stand back and do nothing but complain and moan".   I may live in the countryside of the South West of the UK  but it is a myth to think that there are no ecological issues here.  In particular in West Devon the endless acres and acres of green agricultural deserts and vast expanding house building projects have seen the disappearance of  1000's of trees, hedgerows and plumetted the bird population.  In my life time the bird population has more than halved.  Younger generations have of coursed normalised this absense, they do know any different  but for those of us old enough to remember its a staggering loss.   There is a general psychosis  of projected self harm onto nature and all thats wild and living. The need for order, to be clean and tidy is killing our wildlife and taking away places to shelter, keep warm, hydrate and hybernate.
