Willow Tit - Status in UK

Status in UK

According to the RSPB, the Willow Tit is in rapid decline and is now considered a 'red status' bird. This status was given for two factors:

  1. BDp¹ - severe, at least 50%, decline in UK breeding population over last 25 years
  2. BDP² - severe, at least 50%, contraction of UK breeding range over the entire period used for assessments since the first BoCC review starting in 1969

Conservation work is continuing to determine the cause of the Willow Tit's decline in population and to try to identify ways to improve the situation.

Famous quotes containing the word status:

    “His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”
