Wader populations on the UK’s open coast: results of the 2015/16 Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey (NEWS-III) and a review of population trends

Author:

Published: 2021

The research used data collected by volunteers participating in the Non-Estuarine Waterbird Survey (NEWS), which takes place approximately once every decade. Sites monitored by NEWS include those used by specialist species such as Turnstone, Ringed Plover and Purple Sandpiper. Many of these birds occur in internationally important numbers in the UK, yet the remote nature of much of our non-estuarine coast means that it is a habitat which is poorly monitored by the year-round Wetland Bird Survey (WeBS).

Contrasting long‐term trends in age‐specific survival of Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) in Britain using smoothed estimates of recovery probabilities

Author:

Published: 2021

This BTO study uses new statistical techniques to more accurately estimate population trends in British Peregrines. Combining old and new methods could improve our knowledge of survival of Peregrine survival at different ages. Notes We are extremely grateful to all the ringers who have gone to great efforts to ring Peregrines over the years and to all those who have taken the trouble to report the dead birds they have found. The Ringing Scheme is funded by BTO, JNCC (on behalf of Natural England, Natural Resources Wales, Scottish Natural Heritage, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, Northern Ireland) and the ringers themselves.
