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:

    “A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
    —Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
