If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

Over recent weeks, at least seven individuals have been noted with plenty of displaying and interaction between birds regularly seen. It's not just Goshawks that are to be seen here though. Most days up to six species of raptor are seen against the stunning backdrop of the Charnwood Hills

Announcement: Bradgate Park Raptor Viewpoint becomes the first official raptor viewpoint in Leicestershire & Rutland. Located near the War Memorial, the new viewpoint offers a chance of seeing a special new addition to the breeding avifauna of Leicestershire & Rutland, the Eurasian Goshawk!
