Previous studies have found that a large number of bird species avoid nesting near to roads. This is true of the stone curlew, which was previously found to have a greatly reduced nest density near to major roads in England. The stone curlew has undergone long-term population declines and is one of the most threatened breeding birds in the UK. It is important to understand if disturbance from roads has an effect on the population size and why they avoid it if the conservation importance of this issue is to be assessed. Using a model of local nest density on arable farmland on suitable soils, in relation to proximity of three road types in the same analysis, nesting stone curlews were found to significantly avoid motorways and trunk A (MT) r...
