Hello
Woodlarks are one of the rarest birds in the UK, but there is a good population nesting on the heaths around Fleet and Aldershot.
An ornithologist is working with us to find out if the cattle are having an impact on the breeding succes of the woodlark (either positive or negative). He is locating the nests and counting the young. We even have cameras set up on some of the nests to find out what is going on.
In order to find out what impact the cattle are having on the birds it is useful to know where they hang about.
Therefore it would be really great to try and get accurate locations of the cattle when you see them. This could be using the grid references on the looker map (with more detail such as R28, NE corner) or, if you have access to one, a GPS grid reference.
Don't worry if you can't manage this - but the more data we collect, the more accurate our study will be.
Many thanks, and I will keep you updated with any findings.
Alex
