international research and conservation efforts underway to help
ensure their survival. http://www.shorebirdworld.org/

The British Trust
for Ornithology has existed since 1933 as
an independent, scientific research trust, investigating the
populations, movements and ecology of wild birds in the British Isles. Their speciality is the
design and implementation of volunteer wild bird surveys. http://www.bto.org/

The Wash Wader
Ringing Group has been operating since
1959 and has built up a large and valuable database for
study. Nearly 250,000 birds have been ringed (banded) in this
time. The group operates with cannon nets and mist nets,
around the shores of The Wash in both Norfolk
and Lincolnshire, with the
main aim of providing a better understanding of the waders
(shorebirds) using the Wash.
