@WriterHannahBT The 'other campaign' should really do their homework before criticising. We're all on the same side surely?

My campaign has been accused of being counterproductive to swifts because it’s competing with another nature campaign. It is not. Cavity nesting birds&their habitat have never been included in any law or policy. Campaigns that are simple&urgently essential are no less valid.
