With Flo, Tijs Claes and Colin MacLennan in the fabulous RSPB Insh Marshes today watching curlews and listening to them bubbling over the wetland. Magical.

This #WaderWeek, we are again highlighting the Nest Camera Project, which documents wader nest outcomes. We've had some very interesting records and contributed to wider academic projects. Get in touch to take part! 👇 @BTO_Scotland @RSPBScotland @scottishfarmer @DavyMcCracken

Every one counts...This farmer in the West Angus Wader Community project has put in the effort to save a lapwing nest. Not always easy but can make a big difference. #WaderWeek @scottishfarmer @GwctScotland @LockettRichard @RSPBScotland @BASCScotland

[Working_for_Waders @ForWaders]

We're on the road again, travelling around important areas for waders in Scotland as part of work to understand how and where future resources need to be targeted. Great enthusiasm on the ground, but some major challenges ahead! #Curlew #Lapwing

When it comes to wading birds, there's no such thing as "one-size-fits-all"... We can do a better job of focussing conservation funding for farmers in different parts of Scotland- get involved in our new survey and help us work out the details! https://t.co/RjACObPGcX

Excellent review led by BTO and University of East Anglia.

Trees do not make good neighbours, if you're a breeding wader.
