Episode 11 - Protecting coastal birds

We are so lucky to have such a huge variety of wildlife on our coastline. In this episode, you’ll find out more about some of birds you are likely to see.

We joined Steph Leow from the RSPB, who is working on monitoring and protecting ringed plover nests, Christian at Foulney Island Nature Reserve who talks all things terns, and Joe and Bekka at South Walney Nature Reserve as they discuss more of the bird species on our coasts.

Our podcast is hosted by Head of Nature Reserves, Joe Murphy, who talks with a guest each episode. The podcast features interviews with staff and volunteers from across Cumbria.

Cumbria Wildlife Trust cares passionately about wildlife and wild places. We’re here to put wildlife back into our land and seascapes to make Cumbria a wilder county with more space for nature. We restore and connect wild places, work with nature to tackle the climate emergency and support people to take local action for wildlife.

Our skilled and dedicated staff work closely with volunteers, partners and thousands of supporters to create a wilder future for Cumbria.

We are a registered charity part of a UK-wide grassroots movement made up of 46 individual Wildlife Trusts who all believe that we need nature and nature needs us.

Thank you to all our members who are helping put wildlife back into our land and seascapes to make Cumbria a wilder county with more space for nature. If you’re not yet a member, you can sign up here https://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/join
