Stone Curlew Note 2

Annex I Birds

This is a list of 175 rare birds protected by European Directives and listed in Annex 1 of the Council of the European Communities Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds published 2 April 1979.

The Annex 1 list includes the Stone Curlew and three other rare birds found at Castle Bottom and Yateley Common:

• Nightjar
• Woodlark
• Dartford Warbler

The presence of the three listed Annex 1 birds is the reason that the Castle Bottom to Yateley and Hawley Commons SSSI has been formally designated as a Special Protection Area for Wild Birds. The SSSI is therefore designated as a European Site.
