The work is part of a development study designed to assess the aquatic food resources available to Common Scoters at crucial stages during their breeding cycle. The Saving Scotland’s Scoters project has collected aquatic invertebrate samples from a suite of 21 freshwater lochs at five sites across northern Scotland. The samples have been collected in two batches, from known feeding areas for the ducks/ducklings in each of the selected lochs. This study aims to capture information on the availability of different aquatic invertebrate species at each loch and their relative abundance in the feeding areas. ‘Saving Scotland’s Scoters’ is a Development Phase project supported by the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, managed by NatureScot.
