Reports

BTO publishes various reports, from those covering the annual results of core surveys, through scientific studies, and on to those produced in partnership with other organisations. Many of these are published as BTO Research Reports, which includes BBS reports, Waterbirds in the UK (WeBS) reports and SMP reports. You can access all of our reports from here, though note that we are currently updating the reports section, working backwards through time to bring all of the report pages into a consistent format. You can read our Annual Report and Accounts in the Governance section.

Breeding Plover Survey for Common Standards Monitoring in Scotland, 2007: assessments of changes in numbers of breeding waders on SPAs designated for breeding Ringed Plovers Charadrius hiaticula

Author:

Published: 2008

In 2007, UK-wide surveys of breeding Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula and Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius were undertaken, the first national surveys for these species since 1984. Since then, declines had been reported in some local populations of Ringed Plover – notably in the stronghold of the Outer Hebrides where several waders have suffered greatly from egg predation by introduced Hedgehogs Erinaceus europaeus. This report provides an update on the current population sizes of Ringed Plover and other wader species in four Scottish Special Protection Areas (SPAs) designated for Ringed Plover. Population changes for feature wader species are calculated using recent previous estimates for the SPAs taken from the UK SPA Review.
