Birdwatch Magazine  |  July 2022
IN THIS ISSUE
There are few more popular birds of prey than Montagu’s Harrier, but this species is in deep trouble in the UK – can anything be done to save it? In the July issue of Birdwatch, the RSPB’s Mark Thomas assesses the precarious situation of our rarest breeding raptor.
Take a look into the rarity archives and many site names will stand out – not least for their absence from today’s birding headlines. Richard Bonser reminisces about these ‘lost’ locations of the past, looking at what happened to some of the most prolific birding sites of yesteryear.
In this month’s ID guide, Andy Stoddart takes a look at three vagrant tern species that would make any birder’s summer: Sooty, Bridled and Aleutian Terns are all covered in detail.
Summer birding in the UK can be sleepy at times, but the Arctic is a hive of activity with the breeding season at its peak – Ed Stubbs reports on a recent trip to the iconic destination of Varanger.
Recent years have seen huge advances in the technologies used to monitor the movements of birds. The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is the most recent addition to the tool kit and Dr Lucy Mitchell explains the method behind it and some of the results received so far.
South America’s Atlantic Forest holds staggering birdlife, but has been badly deforested. Lee Dingain details how Birdwatch readers can support World Land Trust’s Plant a Tree programme, which is restoring degraded forest patches.
July’s digital edition has lots of bonus content, including:
• Video of vagrant terns;
• Film of breeding Montagu’s Harrier;
• Footage of migrant Green Sandpipers;
• Sound recordings of the songs and calls of House Martin and Swallow;
• Film of rarities and scarcities from Britain, Ireland and the wider Western Palearctic.
