What's driving nest losses?

You may be aware that we're currently raising funds to purchase more essential trail cameras to help us understand what's driving the decline in ground-nesting bird populations.

Trail cameras show us exactly what is predating nests and provide vital evidence we can share with policymakers, landowners, conservation bodies, and the government. You can see images from some of the footage we've been able to capture with trail cameras below:

We need to continue capturing images such as these but on a much larger scale and as quickly as possible to help further our research. To do that we need your help - here’s how you can contribute today:

Keep up your good work. Much appreciated by those of us studying ground nesting birds

Mink control around the River Skirfare , Arncliffe, Littondale appears to have resulted in increased Curlew numbers.

We hope that with the evidence of these findings - the general public will understand why everything needs to be controlled for the sake of the species that can not escape predators.
