Nightingale habitat improvement.

The work programme continues with many of our old favourites but with an emphasis on improving habitat on the Reserve for our warblers, including our famous but declining nightingales. Recent research highlighted at a nightingale conference earlier this year has given fresh insight into habitat requirements and it is now clear we need to work on a significantly larger area for successful habitat improvement. We will also continue to work on maintaining viewpoints and access routes for the various bird surveys we
complete and maintaining the bird ringing net runs.

All work parties start at 9.30 a.m. at the Visitor Centre and go through to somewhere around 1.00 p.m.

Work parties with a (Q) notation are accessed through the quarry so you need to be at the Visitor Centre by 0930 to pick up transport. There is no other access to the quarry.
