About "Water for Life"

Over half of Britain’s bird species are, to varying degrees, associated with water.

From the wildfowl and waders of our coasts, lakes and rivers to Dippers on fast flowing streams, a variety of fascinating adaptations have taken place for an aquatic existence.

The significance of water in the lives of birds and other wildlife goes beyond this however as it is, for most, an essential element in survival and as well as focussing on the exploitation of water as a habitat, this talk investigates the challenges faced by those species living in arid countries where water is scarce.
