Climate Change Altering UK Bird Habits. By Richard Black, BBC, August 15, 2008. "A number of UK bird species are laying eggs significantly earlier than they were 40 years ago, a report reveals. A conservation coalition's report says some finches, robins and tits are all laying earlier and puts this down to warming caused by climate change. Overall, numbers of farmland birds remain about half of what they were in the 1970s, while wintering populations of water birds have risen considerably. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said birds were having to respond to climate change to survive. The State of UK's Birds [PDF, 35 pp] report is produced annually by a coalition of conservation groups."
