Density-Dependent Mortality of Wintering Redshanks
An investigation in South-East Scotland, spanning eleven years, studied predation by Eurasian sparrow hawks on density-dependent mortality of wintering Redshanks. Research was undertaken by Philip Whitfield of Scottish National Heritage, along a 5km rocky shore at Scoughall, on the pouter Firth of Forth. The researcher studied wintering Redshanks for winters 1983 to 1993 (August- April).
