Professor Chris Stoate looks back on the Allerton Project’s achievements as he steps down as its Head of Research.

The annual monitoring of breeding songbirds at the Allerton Project now represents a long-term dataset spanning 33 years. Overall songbird numbers remain around 70% higher than they were at the start of the project in 1992.

This week saw another significant and exciting development in the life of the Allerton Project: we opened our newly build accommodation to our first guests – very fittingly GWCT staff coming to help with our research work.
