Threatened Warwickshire species to be saved from extinction
Several of Warwickshire’s most threatened species will benefit thanks to almost £500,000 from Natural England’s ‘Species Recovery Programme’.
Water vole recovery project
Wigeon
The wigeon is a colourful duck that can often be spotted wheeling round our winter skies in large flocks. A dabbling duck, it surface-feeds on plants and seeds in shallow waters.
Rock dove
The wild rock dove is the ancestor to what is probably our most familiar bird - the feral pigeon, which is often found in large numbers in our towns and cities.
