Combining electronically collected weekly and monthly bird counts, literature review, ringing recoveries, colour-marking studies, satellite telemetry, and faecal analyses, the study found significant and sustained increases in both species at Martin Mere, linked to agricultural changes, habitat management, and supplemental feeding. The research highlighted shifts in migration timing, strong site fidelity, and correlations with declines at other sites, underlining Martin Mere’s conservation importance. The key takeaway is that habitat management and feeding practices are major factors influencing species distribution, and ongoing coordinated monitoring, adaptive management, and conservation planning are recommended to support these wintering populations; however, the conclusions are primarily based on data from Martin Mere and should guide—but not solely determine—management decisions.

These records are kept as hard copies in the archives at Martin Mere and therefore needed to be collected, copied and entered electronically to enable the data to be analysed. The weekly counts were entered and then bar charts were generated to facilitate data analysis. Following this, average monthly counts were plotted for each species to summarise the wintering numbers each year.
