Heads of the Valleys Lapwing Project

10 August 2009

The Heads of the Valleys area has been identified as a Key Area for lapwing, supporting approximately 10% of the Welsh population. Reclaimed coal tips, characteristic of the area, have provided ideal nesting habitat for these birds. However loss and disturbance of breeding sites is now putting the future survival of the species at risk.

Furthermore, it will compare breeding success and invertebrate availability with data from the 1980s, before the decline.
