A brilliant new pilot by Sian Taylor! Finding the culprits for the large number of unknowns often present in wader nest and chick predation studies is so valuable for our knowledge, management and policy #ornithology #IWSG2023

A positive effect on population size from Project Godwit head-starting ☑️ good habitat and predator exclusion for recruitment ☑️ but wild productivity is still low. Fingers crossed that further research will allow solutions to be developed. Great talk Lynda Donaldson! #IWSG2023

RSPB Otmoor provided curlews calling over insect rich meadows. An organic farm wasn’t so lucky, nest predated early on, despite electric fence. Thank you ⁦Tony Juniper⁩ ⁦RSPB⁩ ⁦Natural England⁩ for today. ⁦Curlew Recovery Partnership⁩ ⁦Curlew Action⁩

Just back from a couple of hours in the field to check on my local pair of New Forest Curlews, followed by a live interview with Sky News highlighting the role of seasonal car park closures in reducing recreational disturbance in this protected landscape. #WorldCurlewDay2022
