The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has introduced a new mapping resource designed to enhance the protection of breeding wading birds in Northern Ireland.

This new sensitivity mapping tool developed by scientists from the British Trust for Ornithology in Northern Ireland (BTO NI), includes the most up to date information as of 2023 on protected breeding wader locations in Northern Ireland, providing an efficient snapshot into the density and distribution of breeding waders in Northern Ireland including Curlew, Lapwing, Redshank and Snipe.
