Identifying Wading Birds - Class for Beginners

This event is part of the Working for Waders Initiative; a collaborative partnership project run by a wide range of organisations, land managers and charities. Working for Waders combines local knowledge with the latest science to deliver meaningful change on the ground, and everybody is welcome to participate in this national effort to reverse the decline of wading birds. This is the second Working for Waders event to be held in the Borders this year.

Working for Waders

Learn to identify wading birds on Skye. We'll teach you about their appearance, sounds and behaviour, plus where to look for them.

Minginish Community Hall

Wading birds are an important part of Scotland’s rural heritage, but many species are in rapid decline. We have lost almost two thirds of our curlews since 1994, and the number of lapwings has halved in the same time. Without urgent action, the future looks bleak. Would you like to help stop the decline? Come along to this class to learn how to identify waders on your croft, farm or local area. We&#x27;ll also teach you a simple way of recording what you see, so we can make well-informed land management decisions to help these amazing birds thrive on Skye.

Our project, Working For Waders, started in 2017. We aim to tackle the decline of wading birds across Scotland. The project is open to anyone with an interest in waders and is currently supported by a wide range of charities, organisations and individuals, from farmers and conservationists to gamekeepers and birdwatchers.H﻿ot food and drinks included at this event!
