The Speed of Success : Rapid Occupancy by Lesser Whitethroats following scrub mosaic creation

Habitat management took place in Brownside Braes over the winter of 2006/7 and hundreds of Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Gorse, Dog Rose & Goat Willow saplings were planted in a designated 3ha field. Fast forward 18 years later and three Lesser Whitethroat territories were found in the management area this Spring.

Tom Byars will tell us more about this remarkable success story and how it came to fruition.
