#Bird people, #LitterPickers, #Rewilders and general nature enthusiasts worldwide. At this time of year (in the northwestern hemisphere anyway) where birds are starting to nest, you can be vigilant for plastic in nesting materials.

If you spot a nest with plastic incorporated into it, please report it at https://www.birdsanddebris.com/ so that the extent of the issue can be monitored. As more and more plastics make it into our wild spaces it's really important that we record and report the impact it's having.
