“A survey of the New Forest’s Woodlark population has revealed record-breaking numbers.

The survey, which was carried out in 2024 and conducted by Forestry England and Hampshire Ornithological Society volunteers, showed that the species has increased by 50% since 2019.

In total, 100 volunteers surveyed the forest. They counted a total of 260 breeding pairs – a significant increase from the 167 recorded in the same survey five years ago.”
