RSPB Twite Recovery Project

Due to Natural England cut backs there will be no RSPB fieldworker in the area this summer although the vital habitat work, land owner liaison etc will continue. Following on from a presentation by Charlotte Weightman (Project Habitat Intervention Officer) at last night's CBCG meeting she has asked if we could send out a request for experienced birders who might be prepared to carry out some voluntary fieldwork on twite this summer. The following has been received from Charlotte

Colony monitoring work

If you or someone you know has excellent bird ID skills and is willing to adopt a colony and monitor it by carrying out three survey visits during the breeding season, please get in touch with Jenny Oldroyd : jenny.oldroyd@rspb.org.uk. Training will be given, but we do want to start with people who already have a very high level of skill in this area. Expenses will be paid.
