Every one counts...This farmer in the West Angus Wader Community project has put in the effort to save a lapwing nest. Not always easy but can make a big difference. #WaderWeek @scottishfarmer @GwctScotland @LockettRichard @RSPBScotland @BASCScotland

We're on the road again, travelling around important areas for waders in Scotland as part of work to understand how and where future resources need to be targeted. Great enthusiasm on the ground, but some major challenges ahead! #Curlew #Lapwing

When it comes to wading birds, there's no such thing as "one-size-fits-all"... We can do a better job of focussing conservation funding for farmers in different parts of Scotland- get involved in our new survey and help us work out the details! workingforwaders.com/blog/2025/11/4…
