...there will probably be more media coverage for the launch of the new red list of UK birds tomorrow, but if Man U win then we'll get fewer TV and radio slots!
Tomorrow will see the publication of revised lists of birds of conservation concern - the first revision of these lists for five years. Are there more or fewer declining and threatened bird species now than five years ago? Which species have moved from red to amber and which have gone the other way? And which familiar species has declined so much that it is an addition to the red list? Visit this blog, get a newspaper and listen to the radio to find out.
Birds of Conservation Concern is compiled by a large range of organisations including the RSPB, the British Trust for Ornithology, the Countryside Council for Wales, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Natural England, Northern Irleand Environment Agency, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust.
