- See this encouraging update about Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers in the UK. We will have the pleasure of hearing more from Ken and Linda Smith of the LesserSpot Network when they give a talk for BOC about their work, on 18th February 2026 (get it in your diary). #ukbirding
- Something to celebrate - our 2025 Lesser Spotted Woodpecker report - successful breeding season, the most nests monitored & highest number of chicks fledged per nest since we started in 2015. Acoustic monitoring giving amazing results too, download here www.woodpecker-network.org.uk/images/L_S_W...
- I wonder if this was mirrored across the country?
- Yes. We need wider monitoring effort across the Country, of the sort described in this @lesserspotnet.bsky.social report. Hopefully the article in next month's British Birds will generate enthusiasm for more widespread field work and acoustic monitoring, which seems to be very effective.
