Research ideas

Part of our work is to highlight the areas we think that need more research. Please find below a list of research ideas: 

– What is the overall impact on non-breeding bird numbers on the whole population?

– The frequency of visits versus the number of species seen for non-breeding bird surveys?

– Identification of winteries for red-wing.

– Cumulative effect of wind farm on geese.

– What is the risk of encountering ground nesting birds at a site within the first 6 weeks of a new season? 

– What is the right suite of safeguards to have at particular sites and what impact do the tail ends of the data have on this? 

– How can we estimate the likely number of species breeding in any given week on a particular site?
