What a big 3 points that was. Had to hold on with 10 men for 20 minutes but the makeshift defence were immense, especially Jack Morrell. Happy Wader tonight. πŸ’šβš½οΈ

Protection of existing nest sites is a critical conservation action. are extremely unobtrusive at the nest, most people who are privileged enough to have them sharing their homes with them don’t even know they are there and are thus easily destroyed by renovation work.

The old roof tiles were removed to locate and pinpoint existing nest sites in the soffit space, nests removed and replaced in exactly the same location in the new soffit space. Swifts use the same nest year after year so retaining these and access to them was critical.

So when scaffolding appeared here back in February, frantic efforts by concerned folk to contact the building owner were made. Thankfully the contractor turned out to be the new owner who was willing to re-roof the building in a way that would protect the colony. πŸŒŸπŸ˜‡

A Little Ringed Plover at Witcombe Reservoir this morning. Apart from Common Sandpipers, any wader is unusual here.
