The ongoing research examines aspects of declining populations of migrant breeding birds, with specific focus on pied flycatcher and wood warbler of Dartmoor oakwoods. Key elements include:
i) For the first time in the UK, fitting of geolocaters to 20 male pied flycatchers to be recovered in 2013. This is a joint project between the NE, BTO, Exeter University, a European research group and Biotrack.
ii) Co-ordination of SW upland oak wood nest box schemes and records, and correlation with climatic data.
iii) Behavioural and food supply studies of wood warbler at East Dartmoor NNR.
