Things we can do to help our declining birds

Unfortunately, the last few years has seen a significant decline in some of our well known and much loved bird species.

The main causes of this are modernised and more efficiencies in farming practices, urbanisation and a severe decline in a range of habitats including wetlands, woodlands, forests and hedgerows.

Below are some very simple actions we can take to lend a helping hand.
