This is something we keep pushing as a message to dog walkers. Birds are already struggling, so help them out and keep your dog on a lead during breeding season.
Free running dogs DO disturb nesting birds. PLEASE keep them on a lead in the breeding season. 🎥Borys Kala - Polish Society for Nature Conservation
