efe8a338-ac00-43d9-9e12-7e9479fc4de4-846968This contract will provide the GPS tags to be owned by Natural England and to be subsequently loaned out to a third party to study nightingales in the 2025/26 breeding season. Defra's Agri-environment schemes include both the existing Environmental Stewardship, Countryside Stewardship, and the newer Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) and Landscape Recovery. Natural England's Agri-environment team is working closely with farmers and landowners to use the schemes offered by DEFRA to deliver nature recovery at a landscape-scale. Understanding how species respond to Agri-environment actions is crucial to target investment properly. Nightingale is a red-listed species of conservation concern in the UK. Kent holds a significant proportion of the UK's Nightingale population, more than other individual counties. This project aims to investigate Nightingale use of agri-environment schemes in the Low Weald area, including hedgerow and scrub creation, field margins and ponds. It will focus on the breeding and post-breeding aspects of the Nightingale breeding cycle. The work will be undertaken by Adonis Blue Environmental (Kent Wildlife Trust Group) in collaboration with Natural England. It aligns with a comparable study of Turtle Doves.
