Autumn Bird Survey

Another wonderful day of on-site bird surveying and a delightful identification workshop to finish the event. Full report and maps to follow, once Rodis is back on-line and working properly!
Special sightings were; Willow tit, Chiffchaff, Goldcrest and flock of longtailed tits. We also heard a Treecreeper, awesome!!

Woodland survey

Three day woodland survey was a great success. Small mammal trapping proved presence of common shrew. Field vole and wood mouse, which we already knew were present from last years trapping, were also caught. Pipistrelle and Noctule bat were observed and verified by bat detectors. Hundreds of moths were caught, among them the Lesser Swallow Prominent, and various species of caddis fly caught. A more detailed record of results will be posted soon.
