How to Find Countryside Birds in Winter

This is a recording of a webinar for RSPB supporters which took place on Monday 6 November 2023. Find out which birds to look for and how to identify them, as you wander the winter landscape. We’ll explain how to identify them, and explore their stories. Where do they spend the colder months? How do they find enough food? Why are some more common than others? Discover how the way humans shape the landscape affects these birds and what farmers are doing to help bring some of them back from the brink. 01:14 RSPB Conservation Officer Michelle Duggan discusses the fragile farmland life of the Yellowhammer, a once common countryside bird that's now on the UK Red List. Michelle works with farmers in County Down, Northern Ireland helping to secure the future for this much loved member of the bunting family. Together they are also helping to improve the prospects of Barn Owls, Kestrels, Linnets, Reed Buntings, Skylarks and Tree Sparrows. Find out more here: https://community.rspb.org.uk/getinvo...
