Joyful sight this morning of 4 recently hatched Oystercatcher chicks being feed by their frantic parents. #WaderWednesday #conservation #NatureRecovery
We’re looking forward to #WaderWeek next week - a chance to learn more about the challenges faced by #curlews, #lapwings and others - & also find out how you can help! More on this to come… @DavyMcCracken @scottishfarmer @ScotGamekeepers @BTO_Scotland @DaveParish1 @NFUStweets
First Redshank chicks of the year, hopefully will be a bumper year as plenty of Redshank out on the marsh @BTO_Kent @BBS_birds
In 2016, I wrote an #Oystercatcher blog about the species' decline and its changing nesting habits: wadertales.wordpress.com/2016/06/13/oys… New @loeffler_franz paper demonstrates benefits of nesting on urban roofs & feeding on playing fields: nature.com/articles/s4159… Graphic from 2016 👇
Terrible outcome but a fascinating and valuable piece of evidence to support action for curlews where habitat management alone is insufficient to deliver the goods.

Reducing predation is crucial for Curlew recovery. Learning how nest survival and predator identity varies between areas is important for getting interventions right. The images show a stoat predating a Curlew nest monitored this season by @_BTO for the CST project
With our cameras now running at wader nests across Scotland, @Gallowaygrouse explains why monitoring is so useful - & also how you can get involved ahead of #waderweek next week! workingforwaders.com/blog/2024/5/1/… @DavyMcCracken @DaveParish1 @NatureScot @ScotLandEstates @Gameandwildlife
Have you seen this bird? Curlews that were headstarted in 2021, 2022 and 2023 might be returning to Norfolk and surrounds to breed! 😃Please report any Curlews you see with yellow leg flags 👉 curlewrecoveryproject.co.uk/report-a-sight… #Ornithology #BTOScience #Tracking #ConservationScience #Curlew…
Alongside gathering data about wader breeding attempts, nest cameras highlight the amazing beauty of nesting birds - these Galloway lapwings have been busy over the last 2 days! Join the project and find out more - workingforwaders.com @NatureScot @DaveParish1 @Gameandwildlife
A selection of this season's nests so far and the wild wet grasslands of #loughere The #Curlew somehow sings to my soul @CurlewLIFE @RSPBNI @WCDApril21 @curlewcalls
Curlews are declining in many parts of the UK, but some of the most dramatic collapses of curlew numbers have happened in Scotland- this #worldcurlewday, here’s to everybody working for curlews North of the Border! @scottishfarmer @BTO_Scotland @curlewcalls @DavyMcCracken
21st April is #WorldCurlewDay. @BBS_birds is unequivocal in charting Curlew decline in the UK, with populations decreasing by 30%, 60% and 73% 1995–2021 in England, Scotland & Wales respectively. 👉curlewaction.org/world-curlew-d… @CurlewSLakes @curlewcalls @CurlewAction @CurlewLIFE
Happy World Curlew Day! Love them, protect them, celebrate them. 💚 @CurlewAction 📷 Andrew McAlister
Let’s flood the timeline with these beaky birds for #WorldCurlewDay Have you see one in the wild?
It's #WorldCurlewDay! 💚 From their iconic curved bill to their bubbling call, it's hard not to fall in love with these graceful waders. With @CurlewLIFE, we're working tirelessly to ensure the future of this special, yet threatened, species.
To mark #WorldCurlewDay, we'd like to share 'Call of the Moors'. The poem, written by Nigel Algar Orde-Powlett, later 6th Baron Bolton, when he was a teenager was originally published in 1918. 🔊 Listen to the reading here: gwct.org.uk/blogs/news/202…
This #WorldCurlewDay we'd like to thank the farmers taking part in #CurlewLIFE. 280 farms totalling almost 31,000 hectares at our project areas in England, N. Ireland, Scotland & Wales, working alongside our teams to give #Curlews a fighting chance. curlewlife.org/2024/04/thank-…
It's #WorldCurlewDay (21 April) On this day in 2022, I asked "what happens if you stop hunting #curlew?" wadertales.wordpress.com/2022/04/21/cur… Paper from @_BTO @i_woodward Photo @TomCadwallender Follow @WCDApril21 @curlewcalls #ornithology
Best call at the end - been good company at the beach Beautiful bird #WorldCurlewDay! 💚 Thanks @Natures_Voice @CurlewLIFE @ForWaders & the #farmers #crofters for the work you do 💪

@curlewcalls Env policy makers are guilty of being asleep at the wheel on this one. Relying on data of presence during surveys instead of productivity hasn’t helped our local situation here (IOM)
🐦 The Waders Are Back! Our colleagues at Auchnerran, our Scottish demonstration farm, are preparing for the busy breeding season and expanded research. Read the story here: gwct.org.uk/blogs/news/202…

...'we cannot simply preside over extinction.' Read Dr Louise de Raad's blog, Head of @GwctScotland Research, on the importance of providing both habitat and predator management to conserve #wader populations, and the questions still yet to be answered. bit.ly/3DpBAc6
(1/4) New #BTOScience contributes to 'Wader Sensitivity Maps' to inform land management decisions, ensuring that schemes such as tree-planting do not negatively impact declining wader species & positive management can be targeted in the right places 👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1ftK-5liTFK8…
finally, a big hand to Patrick Laurie* @Gallowaygrouse all the way from Scotland, with BTO’s @fidhw talking on conundrums around sneaky, site-faithful, long-lived #curlews nesting in silage fields and upland ffridd #WGF2022 [representing @ForWaders *]
@ForWaders @CurlewCountry @curlewcalls @DavyMcCracken @VAntolovi @DavidJarrett4 @scottishfarmer @Gameandwildlife @ScotGamekeepers @RSPBScotland @heathertrust Great stuff. I forgot to set the date/time on a couple of my cameras as well! 😀
@denny_robert Kind of borne out by the early results from this @GWCT work in England. Perhaps they could be pooled with @ForWaders ones to strengthen the power of any conclusions that can be drawn from what is still a small sample - if relevant context is also available.
This is just too cool, spotted flycatcher nest inside an old swallow nest right outside my kitchen window, excellent 😁
@Alexander_Lees @PCairnsPhoto It is. As OP acknowledges isn’t‘scientific evidence’…that’s not to dismiss the value of observational insight, just to caveat jumping to conclusions. Know the hill well…he doesn’t mention it’s keepered, and adjoins managed moors, so fox/corvid numbers suppressed.
