Scarce Woodland Bird Survey
Background The aim of this project is to improve our knowledge of the types of habitat used by woodland birds in the breeding season. Relatively little is currently known about the range of habitats used by many of these species and by increasing our knowledge of what is needed we hope to be able to contribute to efforts to reverse their declines in ways such as producing recommendations for the management of woodland habitats. Full details of the project can be found here. How to contribute Survey Period: 1st March 2005 to 30th June 2005 As part of the project, we are collecting records of 8 key species (Firecrest, Hawfinch, Lesser Redpoll, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Redstart, Tree Pipit, Willow Tit and Wood Warbler) from ANY habitat in which they occur between 1st March and 30th June. In order for us to make us of your records of these species for the survey, we would be very grateful if you could provide us with simple habitat information, using the following categories: 1) Broad-leaved woodland Please also provide us with any additional information that might be useful. This would include any sign of breeding activity by the birds (such as singing or other indications of territory holding, sexual behaviour etc.) and the area of the habitat patch the bird(s) was/were present in. Recording your sightings If you are not already a BirdTrack recorder, register using the link on the BirdTrack homepage ‘Register for BirdTrack’. To enter sightings click on the link ‘Login to enter sightings’ and set up your sites and records. How to enter the additional information To contribute, please just add as many of the points above that you can to the species comment box on the casual form, or in the comments box on the main species list form. Please help distinguish the different points by adding a '#' between each point. For example: 1#Two singing males in open area of oak See the results You can look at the latest results for Firecrest, Hawfinch, Lesser Redpoll, Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Redstart, Tree Pipit, Willow Tit and Wood Warbler on BirdTrack. These pages have graphs that show the number of records and the proportion of lists submitted with these species on.
