Bird Counts

Each year, the Tweed Foundation carry out several bird counts along the main stem of the Tweed to help in monitoring the levels of fish predation in the river. These are carried out at different times of the year and involve people walking sections of the river at the same time recording the numbers of goosanders and cormorants.

For more information on the background and results, check out our storymap https://storymaps.arcgis.com/collections/517fbde9d6924eab9a2b5813b3040d58?item=5

If you would like to start your day off with a walk along the river while helping us in monitoring the numbers of these birds, then please do get in touch with our volunteer coordinator, Erica, at echapman@tweedfoundation.org.uk
