The UK’s mammals present particular challenges for monitoring; they live in a wide variety of habitats, vary enormously in size and can be very difficult to see, but Britain’s army of volunteer bird surveyors could come to the rescue.
Autumn is the ideal time to watch seabirds in Liverpool Bay. This workshop will look at the identification and behaviour of the many species which can be found in the region at this time.

We have been kindly invited to join the WeBS team during one of their wetland bird surveys surveys along the Mersey to find out some more about the survey, our waders and how you can get involved.
If you're interested in coming along please let us know by email: info@merseysidebiobank.org.uk.
I will let you know early next week exact locations once I have an idea of numbers so I can let the WeBS team know :)
Nature alert: Nearly one in five bird species in Europe is at risk of extinction according to the European Red List of Birds, compiled by BirdLife International and using data gathered by BTO volunteers. The list makes shocking reading, with illegal killing and land-use change among the factors thought to be driving the declines evident in many once familiar species.
