I enjoyed your article on staff at the Arundel Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust predicting a hard winter for us this year because the ducks and geese were eating so much.

With the cold weather now with us I have put up my bird table but as yet haven't had any feathered visitors.

I am a member of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and I regularly attend in the winter to see the glorious sight of skeins of canade geese dropping out of the sky and and watching the ducks and geese grazing on the grassy areas. It makes you think of the damage to the birdlife and the animals which we will cause if all the predictions of global warming come true.

Who knows, perhaps the birds are already sensing a change to the seasons and are thus changing their eating habits.

I read a lot from policitians in you paper having a go at each other and arguing the about the rights and wrongs of green issues. I know that it is hard sometimes to know what to do for the best.

But let's remember our feathered friends and make an effort in whatever little way we can to stop damaging the earth and try to stop the changes in the climate. After all they have done nothing wrong. It is only the human species which is at fault.
