Sad but special day, as we gather to remember Mark Smart. He created wonderful habitat for breeding #waders wherever he went. wadertales.wordpress.com/2019/06/14/man… #shorebirds #ornithology

Great to be a part of this exciting project. We’re trying to understand how thermal drone flights can be optimised to reduce false -ive’s and +ive’s when searching for wader nests. Thanks to all involved in the local team for making this happen. Video linked below 👇

Perfect conditions this morning just after 6am for the ongoing trials with the RSPB flying a UAV fitted with a thermal camera to help locate Curlew nests on the Somerset Levels.

Delighted to see our new RSPB Science paper out. In a declining upland population #Whinchat are more likely to persist further from enclosed farmland in mid altitude valleys that contain a v low density of trees & a mixed bracken & ericaceous field layer doi.org/10.1080/000636…

Great project and team!

Do you have knowledge or expertise in taxonomic groups found in the UK’s uplands? I’m looking for naturalists to contribute to autecological analysis as part of a #biodiversity audit assessing impacts of land-use change across eight of northern England’s protected landscapes 1/4

Call to any entomologists active in Northern England - please do contact Franky Rogers if you can help with this valuable study

📣Job Opportunity 📣 Join us! The Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network is hiring a Group Facilitator to spearhead our 60-member network, balancing food production and nature in the Norfolk & Suffolk Brecks. Visit bit.ly/BFWNjob for more information🌱

A reminder that the recruitment for our Group Facilitator vacancy closes on the 26th Jan. Visit bit.ly/BFWNjob for information on the role.

Cultivated margins are one of the most diverse farm habitats & pay well in SFI, but are hard to get right So why not listen to John Secker on our webinar, farmer in the Brecks who we'd wager has the best cultivated margins in the country Register shorturl.at/ZAxJ0
