#WillowTit used to be a common #forest species in Finland. 2019 it was classified as #endangered on the Red List because of drastic population declines.
A new 30 year study suggests main culprit is intensive #forestry:
"The #EvenAged #forest #management has caused habitat loss for the #WillowTit which has affected the spatial breeding distribution measures and probably has a major role in the #population #decline of the species."

Willow tit (Poecile montanus) is also one of my favourite birds. Hard to find and see in my area as they are endangered, because logging and forestry. Old forests are becoming more and more less.
