Such an interesting day in the #WylyeValley with the #FarmerCluster who are hosting a River Day. Discussing #Beavers The Beavers Trust, monitoring, water quality lobbying WildFish, invertebrate ID led by Wilts Wildlife Trust
Another successful day at #projectpeewit . This farmer needed to know the location of the nest. Took me a couple minutes to find it. The bird was back on it in less than 3 minutes. Nest found, nest protected. Thank you to all the farmers out there doing so much for wildlife π
Today was a good day, spent the morning monitoring Lapwing for #ProjectPeewit in the North Wessex Downs (can you spot the chicks) this afternoon was spent biking on Salisbury Plain monitoring Curlew (6 pairs observed) and I saw my first Swifts of the year this evening
Spending the afternoon out monitoring some of Wiltshire's last breeding Curlew as part of #WorldCurlewDay ; also enjoyimg some lovely weather. Sadly Curlew numbers across the county have crashed by around 90% in just a few decades. We are hard to try and save them.
Live or birding in #Wiltshire ? Why not join #ProjectPeewit and look out for my favourite bird with Wiltshire and Swindon Biological Records Centre Wilts Wildlife Trust for a landscape-scale project to locate, monitor and conserve the remaining breeding pairs
