The Problem


Populations of some of our once common birds such as song thrushes, yellow hammers, linnets, bullfinches, tree sparrows, as well as ground nesting birds such as the skylark, lapwing and curlew, to name but a few, have all declined in the last twenty years or so.

The Causes


Initally the loss of habitat associated with changes in agriculture.

Latterly the cumulative effects of uncontrolled predation.
