	Margaretta Louisa (née Smith) Lemon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Although she never claimed to be an ornithologist, she made important contributions to conserving birds and played a pivotal role in the founding of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
		The history of this society is thus different from the other protective and scientific societies in being founded and initially led by women.
		Ornithologists were sometimes hostile to the activities of the society, a situation Lemon attributed to the society’s attempt to curb unscrupulous egg-collectors and skin hunters.

		The decline of birds in the U.K. may be a result of a decline in insects.
		The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is equipping cars with "splatometers" to try to find out just how many bugs splat onto cars as they whiz across the countryside.
		Scientists at the RSPB believe that a decline of insects may be a leading factor in bird population declines since birds rely on insects for food.

	Bird_boxes
		As a general rule garden bird boxes are designed for hole nesters such as blue tits and great tits and open nesters like robins and pied wagtails.
		Bird boxes with holes should be not be surrounded by dense foliage, as the adult birds like to be able to have a clear view of the entrance hole.
		Birds will use nesting boxes as roosting places in winter so their proper care and maintenance throughout the year is essential.

		y combing museum collections for old birds' eggs, a researcher has found that thrush eggshells in Great Britain were thinning by the turn of the century, 47 years before DDT hit the market.

		In the April 22 Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B, he describes long, slow shell declines.
