'Keep dogs on leads to help ground-nesting birds'

Chris Goreham

Available for over a year

A campaign to protect birds by encouraging people to keep their dogs on leads has launched in North Norfolk. The area is popular with tourists and rare ground-nesting birds but the Holkham Estate says its seen a 60% decline in breeding numbers of some species. It's hoped if landowners and wildlife organisations join together and give guidance that covers the whole area, it will be easier for people to understand where they can walk safely. "It's about the balance between access and conservation," said Victoria Egan from the National Trust.
