Saturday 16th January 

RSPB Forest of Bowland – Wading Birds Project

Frank Osterberg will be describing the project, which covers Lapwing, Curlew, Oystercatcher, Redshank and Snipe  

“The main body of work that we do in Bowland is the breeding bird surveys which estimate the population of each species across the area we survey. This also indicated population changes between years and landscape practices and changes that may dictate positive or negative population changes and subsequently working with landowners and farmers in mitigating negative impacts and habitat improvement for these species.

We have also been actively protecting and monitoring Curlew nests and chicks to understand chick success.”

Saturday 13th February
