Breeding bird success at Tebay and Moasdale
Recent studies of upland vegetation change have shown good results for breeding birds. Over the last 10 years the Woodland Trust have facilitated two long term studies of Tebay Gill, Tebay and Moasdale, Duddon to look at the impacts of habitat change on birds. Both sites in the study were fenced, sheep-free exclosures, where trees and scrub had been planted and maintained to encourage vegetation change under a Higher Level Stewardship agreement.
