View targeting maps and management advice

Many datasets have been combined to produce targeting maps showing the most up-to-date and comprehensive distribution of scarce and declining farmland and woodland birds.

The maps show the best places to target specific measures to improve habitats. Absence of records does not indicate absence of the species, and if a detailed bird survey is carried out on your land, this information will allow closer targeting of habitat management to benefit the species on your land.

We encourage all bird survey information to feedback to improve updates to the targeting maps, and one of the best ways to do this is through BirdTrack. If you are a birdwatcher, click on the link on the left-hand side of this page to find out how to submit your bird records.

On most farms in the UK management can be undertaken to benefit skylarks, linnets and song thrushes and management advice is available by choosing the species below. Targeting maps help you decide which scarce birds you could also benefit through management

Choose the location and species from the drop-down lists below to view targeting maps and information about the birds' habitats, or advice on beneficial management.
