Fair Isle Migration Project
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Fair Isle Migration Project on the completion of its study into bird migration; understands that the project is a scientific collaboration between the Fair Isle Bird Observatory Trust and the University of Aberdeen, undertaken to analyse data collected from the Fair Isle Bird Observatory since 1955; notes that the findings have revealed significant changes in the number and timing of some long-distance migrant birds coming from Africa; considers the research findings essential for scientists to identify and understand these changes and their causes; welcomes that Dr Will Miles of the Fair Isle Migration Project will present some of his initial research from the sanctuary at RSPB Scotland's Big Nature Festival in Musselburgh on 23-24 May 2015, and looks forward to considering the findings.
