We're gearing up for a new project on predation, trying to get a better idea of what's needed to deliver predator control that is actually effective in the landscapes where waders need it most. More to come soon! workingforwaders.com/blog/20…

If you have any data on wader numbers on your patch, please consider sharing. BTO and the Curlew Recovery Partnership are launching a new project to collate this information to try and fill knowledge gaps. You can share as much or as little as you wish. Details below 👇

Following an enthusiastic meeting recently with farmers and crofters on Lewis, we put together this podcast... ‘West Lewis Waders - conservation from the ground up!’ is on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/QB5G6XKrHE…

We're off to the Bhaltos peninsula on Lewis for a free public meeting about wader conservation - expect to talk crofting, Agri-environment funding, predator control and curlews in the Western Isles... see you there? 29th July at 7pm eventbrite.co.uk/e/wader-con…

It's been a great #WaderWeek - thanks to all those who have posted, shared and been in touch. If you missed the blogs, check them out here: workingforwaders.com/blog @RSPBScotland @BTO_Scotland @BASCScotland @heathertrust @ScotLandEstates

This #WaderWeek, we are again highlighting the Nest Camera Project, which documents wader nest outcomes. We've had some very interesting records and contributed to wider academic projects. Get in touch to take part! 👇 @BTO_Scotland @RSPBScotland @scottishfarmer @DavyMcCracken

Every one counts...This farmer in the West Angus Wader Community project has put in the effort to save a lapwing nest. Not always easy but can make a big difference. #WaderWeek @scottishfarmer @GwctScotland @LockettRichard @RSPBScotland @BASCScotland

It's #WaderWeek 2026! We are celebrating all things wader-ish, starting with a look at what the future may hold and action @forwaders is leading on 👇. We'd love to hear your wader stories too, so please get in touch. @DavyMcCracken @BTO_Scotland @scottishfarmer @RSPBScotland

We're on the road again, travelling around important areas for waders in Scotland as part of work to understand how and where future resources need to be targeted. Great enthusiasm on the ground, but some major challenges ahead! #Curlew #Lapwing

When it comes to wading birds, there's no such thing as "one-size-fits-all"... We can do a better job of focussing conservation funding for farmers in different parts of Scotland- get involved in our new survey and help us work out the details! workingforwaders.com/blog/20…
