A randomly selected sample of sites surveyed in 1982 for the Breeding Waders of Wet Meadows survey was re-visited in 2989 and information on numbers of breeding waders collected. This showed that over this period numbers of Lapwings Vanellus vanellus had declined significantly by 38%, whilst Oystercatchers Haematopus ostralegus had increased by 56%. There was no evidence of a change in numbers of Snipe Gallinago gallinago, Redshank Tringa totanusor Curlew Numenius arquata. In both 1982 and 1989 a high proportion of all Snipe and inland breeding Redshank occurred on nature reserves. Numbers of Snipe and Redshank (but not Lapwing) were less likely to have declined on reserves than on unprotected sites. |
