The ‘Waders for Real’ Life+ project was launched this year with the aim of reversing the decline of breeding wetland birds in the Avon Valley.

To halt the decline of lapwing and redshank, we urgently need to intervene to improve breeding success, which should lead to increases in breeding density.

£4,350 would pay for 25 radio tags (£174 each) and allow us to monitor lapwing chick survival.
