Upland land use predicts population decline in a globally near‐threatened wader (2014, background): “The causes of declines remain unclear, but wader breeding success is a major driver of population change, and predation is in turn often the main cause of breeding failure (MacDonald & Bolton 2008).”
BirdTrends 2014: trends in numbers, breeding success and survival for UK breeding birds (2014, background): “Recent empirical evidence suggests that levels of predation on wader nests are unsustainably high in many cases, even in some situations where breeding habitat is otherwise favourable (MacDonald & Bolton 2008a).”
