Thanks for the support and signatures........anyone free on Monday @ 10am to be part of a group photographed handing in petition ? I've been persuaded by the Salford Star to dress up as Tweetie Pie (no Little Ringed Plover suits in the Fancy Dress shop) for it so it should be a laugh

Salford Star magazine have started this petition:

"We, the undersigned, condemn the behaviour of Peel Holdings/BBC at the MediaCity:UK location of North Wharf on Salford Quays - disturbing birds such as Little Ringed Plover, Ringed Plover, Lapwings & Skylarks during the breeding season, using falconers, hawks and dogs.

We find this behaviour at odds with the eco-friendly ethics of the BBC and request that the organisations involved, as stated on the BBC website: Do One Thing For Nature - create a Breathing Place in Salford..."

It has already been signed by over 100 people

If you would like to be part of this petiton just add your name to this thread or send an email to the petition email address:

bbcsalfordquays@planet-save.com

Phase 1 of the petition is going to be handed in to Peel Holdings on Monday 18th June 2007 and the Salford Star magazine are going to take photos of this for an article. If anyone is interested in joining the group of people handing the petition in please send an email to the above address or meet up at 10am outside The Lowry on Salford Quays
