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…

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
