A pioneering project has boosted wader numbers in Orkney by working with farmers

The North Isles Landscape Partnership Scheme is coming to an end. As part of the project RSPB Scotland has been working with farmers to help nature. Land that was unused has been grazed by local farmers and new habitat has been created for threatened wading birds.
In this video farmers and RSPB Scotland's Thomas Wells explain how they did it and what the results have been.
This work was led by RSPB Scotland and funded by the
North Isles Landscape Project which brings together
Orkney Islands Council, NatureScot and
Highlands and Islands Enterprise
as well as local community groups.
