RSPB to restore

wetland habitat

A wetland habitat which will protect

Scotland’s most threatened bird is to

be restored in Sutherland thanks to a

£34,000 grant.

The donation from the FCC

Communities Foundation will help

RSPB Scotland carry out work at its

Forsinard Flows Nature Reserve,

which houses the largest blanket bog

in Europe.

The reserve supports a wide array of

wildlife – including dunlin,

greenshank and hen harrier – and one

area, Forsinain Farm, provides a

mosaic of grasslands and wetlands that

is home to breeding curlew.

The UK’s breeding population of

curlew is more than 30 per cent of the

west European population.

RSPB Scotland has started work to

restore marshy conditions, reinstate

water controls, create shallow ponds,

and install fences for a controlled

livestock grazing regime.
