Just issued - the 2010 edition of the State of the UK's Birds from RSPB, BTO, WWT, CCW, JNCC, NE, NIEA and SNH. As with the earlier JNCC score cards, does not look good for farmland or woodland birds, with continuing declines.
The declines in farmland birds are a common pattern across Europe, and contribute to the UK's lack of success on the 2010 targets. Interesting also is the mixed success of BAPs for birds - but for both successful and less successful birds, it is not clear whether it is the BAP that is making the difference, or not. Good overview of the role of NGOs and volunteers for this group.
