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:

    “The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
