SONG THRUSH SPECIES ACTION PLAN (Richmond upon Thames)

These pages aim to provide information about the status of song thrush in Richmond, including song thrush sightings borough-wide and details of the best sites to see them. There are many areas where we lack information. If you have song thrushes in your local garden or park then please let us know. It is intended to display details of local wildlife walks which might be of interest and if your group would like information about your events posting please let me know. The minutes of the song thrush working group outline the progress on actions contained in the Species Action Plan (SAP) for this bird. The complete document (as well as the other action plans for bats, water vole and stag beetles) is available at: www.kew.org/richmondbio. You can also find out more here about how we could achieve a better deal for the song thrush population in the borough.
