Breeding Waders of Wet Meadows 2021

The Breeding Waders of Wet Meadows was originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic. The BTO is currently planning for it to go ahead this spring, but this is obviously dependent upon the Covid-19 restrictions permitting at the time.

There are around 90 sites in the list for the York Region to get covered, about half are priority, so there is plenty of opportunity for involvement. Some of these are known important sites, others are selected Lapwing plots on farmland. The survey requires three visits between mid-April and the end of June, with an extra visit if the site has Snipe.
