I think Chris Packham does a great deal of good for conservation, from just raising awareness, to having the balls to have a right old go at anything from illegal raptor persecution in the uplands, to Maltese hunters, busy blasting red listed turtle doves (and the rest) out of the skies.
I think he also inspires youngsters about the natural world and let's face it, without that we're all farked.
Anyone who chooses the Jesus and Mary Chain's song, 'Happy when it when it rains' on a normally dreary Desert Island Discs programme has to be a top bloke. The world could do with a whole lot more Chris Packhams I reckon!
