Paper just out in @IBIS_journal - data from acoustic recorders and an AI classifier can be better than transect survey data at predicting relative densities of Curlew and Oystercatcher (but not Golden Plover or Lapwing) across an upland study site.

"It’s likely that public opinion is quietly, calmly against the idea of a National Park in Galloway – but it’ll be interesting to watch the debate unfold if the current battleline of “retired people vs furious farmers” is allowed to deepen & heat up" gallowayfarm.blog/2024/07/30/nat…

Reducing predation is crucial for Curlew recovery. Learning how nest survival and predator identity varies between areas is important for getting interventions right. The images show a stoat predating a Curlew nest monitored this season by @_BTO for the CST project

Exciting news for Scottish Cranes! For the first time, a colour-ringed Crane from England has been seen in Scotland. Not only that, but she seems to have paired up with a Scottish bird! Sherry was born in Somerset to parents who were released as part of the Great Crane Project.…

Stobohope is a 1000 ha valley in the Peeblesshire hills, lying in a National Scenic Area. Rich in wildlife including black grouse and golden eagle. Scottish Forestry have awarded a £2m grant for 500 ha (5 km2) sitka spruce here without asking for an EIA. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/save-stobo-h…

Another good blog on the challenges & nuanced debate required around protecting in particular ground nesting birds. We need to put aside our differences if we are going to solve this dilemma. I would like to see private & NGO working together to agreed priorities in an area.

At the recent @CurlewAction conference there was much consensus about the importance of communicating openly about predation, so here's a blog post discussing Badgers and ground-nesting birds: davidjarrett.info/post/the-badge…
