Nene Wetland Surveys

Hello

Ted Weber from the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire has put out a call for volunteers to help with annual surveys of the breeding birds across the whole of our Nene Wetlands reserves in Northamptonshire; as you’ll appreciate, it’s a big area so help is required from experienced birdwatchers and ornithologists. Recorders must be able to identify a wide range of birds by sight and by their songs and calls, as some parts of the survey are in thickly grown areas. Ideally, volunteers would be able to commit to completing all the survey dates, but even doing one or two would be a help. 

The dates concerned are:

Visit 1: 12 April - 20 April (optimum date 12/13 April)
Visit 2: 10 May - 25 May (optimum date 10/11 May)
Visit 3: 7 June -22 June (optimum date 14/15 June)
Visit 4: 5 July - 20 July (optimum date 12/13 July) (The purpose of the July visit is primarily to look for broods of water birds).


Should you think you may be able to assist in surveys in the Nene Valley corridor, please email Ted on Edward.Weber@wildlifebcn.org

Thank-you
