LWT Willow Tit survey volunteers wanted!

Lancashire Wildlife Trust | Sunday 09 February 2025 | 0 Comments

Do you have a passion for nature and a knack for spotting birds? Our Wet Willow Wildlife project is currently looking for volunteers to help us track down a tiny bird, the elusive willow tit. It is a resident bird in the UK, but has seen its population plummet in recent years due to the loss of its natural habitats. Smaller than the common great tit you might spot at your bird feeder, the willow tit is a master of blending in, spending much of its time deep within dense, wet willow woodlands. If you’ve heard its name but never spotted this legendary little bird, you’re not alone!

In partnership with The Conservation Volunteers and the Greater Manchester Ecology Unit, we’re hosting a series of willow tit survey training workshops. These interactive sessions will not only teach you about the fascinating fun facts about willow tits but also equip you with the surveying techniques you’ll need to become one of our band of vital willow tit surveyors.
