Every single one of these waders is now on the UK Red List of Conservation Concern ⚠️
Rising sea levels and habitat loss are just some of the threats they face.

The tentacles of COVID-19 continue to disrupt and challenge in many ways, including forcing this 28th IOCongress online. Not what Durban had originally hoped, but making the most by getting out and about while attending @InternOrniUnion@io_congress@EnvEast
Now that's what I call Easter!! Working five days a week & still out working at the weekends protecting rare breeding birds, all monitored under my @_BTO Schedule 1 licence. Stone curlew are now actively breeding so hopefully there'll be more successes soon, with @JamesBooty84
The beginning of a new project for ScrubUpBritain, woodcock. Here's the 2nd individual of this species ringed last night at @SinfieldTrust caught and ringed by @JamesBooty84 also @robbiedm3
A total of four birds seen.. plans to expand the project area will continue monthly.
