Snipe
These
secretive, highly camouflaged birds spend much of their time hiding in
wet, rushy meadows and tall marshy grass where they nest. Snipe
breeding populations plummeted by 90% between 1972 and 1996 due to the
draining of wet grassland, habitat destruction, climate change and
physical disturbance. By creating suitable habitat in places like
Brandon Marsh and the Tame Valley, we hope to contribute to reversing
this dramatic decline.
