It seems that RSPB monitoring was what stopped the egg theives who had tried to spoiling things.

Who says the return of red backed shrike wasn't predicted
However, the UK's climate may be suitable for the following species to colonise:
Little bittern
Night heron
Black kite
Short-toed eagle
Little bustard
Scops owl
Hoopoe
Wryneck
Black woodpecker
Crested lark
Fan-tailed warbler
Great reed warbler
Melodious warbler
Bonelli's warbler
Short-toed treecreeper
Woodchat shrikeThe Woodchat Shrike
Red-backed shrike
Serin
Ortolan bunting
The report, A Climatic Atlas of European Breeding Birds, maps potential change in distribution of all the continent's regularly occurring nesting birds against a temperature rise of 3C.
The RSPB today called for urgent action to cut greenhouse gas emissions to avoid a 'calamitous' impact on birds.
A new report published today by the conservation charity shows that if climate change is not slowed down, the potential distribution of average bird species by the end of this century will shift nearly 342 miles (550km) to the north-east – equivalent to the distance from Plymouth to Newcastle.
The report, A Climatic Atlas of European Breeding Birds, maps potential change in distribution of all the continent's regularly occurring nesting birds against a temperature rise of 3C.
It shows that the average European bird's distribution will be reduced in size by 20%, and its future range will overlap its current by only 40%. Three-quarters of all Europe's nesting birds are likely to suffer declines in range, according to the report, published as a partnership between the RSPB, Durham and Cambridge universities, Lynx, BirdLife International and the European Bird Census council.
Some species, including the black-throated diver, snow bunting, capercaillie and dotterel, could be left with few areas of suitable climate in the UK.
Without action to protect populations now and ensure that they can find suitable habitats in future, this could significantly increase their risk of extinction, the report warns. Efforts must be increased to maintain existing protected areas and to extend their coverage in the future to accommodate changes in potential distributions.

I haven't read the report only the article.
I didn't know the report existed.
If only they had asked me I could have told them what was going to happen without them wasting all that money on the report. They could have used the money to buy some land

The difference between this report and your version is of course that they say what COULD POTENTIALLY happen, not what WILL happen...

Surely Great News!

I refer the honourable member to my answer given from my house on the 6th of September.
In terms of Amirillo's response
"The difference between this report and your version is of course that they say what COULD POTENTIALLY happen, not what WILL happen..."
The similarity is that it is already happening.

Well apparently, it was one of the birds I may have seen at Minsmere in about 1955, but as I was very young indeed (!) I have no recollection. Although I do remember hearing Bittern booming there (also !) My parents took us there, partly because they were interested in birds, but also because my mother had worked on the radar station at Dunwich during the war.
Red-backed Shrike doesn't appear on my list of birds seen in Britain until 1987!
