Birds reacting to climate change
Climate change can have an impact on the whole yearly cycle of birds, from nesting to migrating and also on other factors, such as food supply. Read more in the new fact sheet.

Errors have slipped into the fact sheet and have been corrected 6 Nov 2008:
- European birds' ranges could shift in a northeasterly direction, not northwesterly
- the scientific name of jack snipe is Lymnocryptes minimus
- it is a sub species of the knot that migrates a long distance between the north and the south
