SCOTTISH BIRDS


The Scottish crossbill is only found in parts of the Highlands, its numbers having dwindled in the 20th century to less than 1,500 birds. But it may be saved from extinction as it is to benefit from a share of a £500 million European Union scheme aimed at saving endangered species. The Scottish crossbill has been identified as a separate species, with a different size of bill and a distinctive Scottish accent or call. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is to launch a study to establish its population size and draw up a plan for the correct conservation and management measures to protect and conserve its habitats.
