May Bird Survey

A quick round up of the May Bird Survey.

On the Warbler front. Large number of Blackcaps and Common Whitethroats, a good number of Chiff Chaffs, a few Sedge Warblers and Reed Warblers and one Garden Warbler present on a bright, warm morning. Sadly, Willow Warblers not present in Stonebridge Wood this May, as compared to the 3 singing males there last year. However, the Cetti’s Warbler is still singing near by the bridge to Wild Marsh Triangle.

Long-tailed Tits breeding succesfully, with 2 recently fledged family groups spotted and another feeding young on the nest.

A lone Lapwing, an uncommon marsh visitor, was sighted flying over Clendish Marsh.

Full results to follow in the near future.
