Birdcount .... 31st May 2013

The link to the birdcount for may 31st 2013 is below.

39 species which is not too bad.  Some missing, for instance Bullfinch and tree creeper.

A mallard and march tit are often seen at this time of year, searching out nest sites.  They probably do breed nearby, but maybe not on the reserve itself.  The stream or marshy ground on forester's cottage seem likely places.  Have not seen mandarin ducks on a birdcount this year yet, and they are also often seen checking out sites.  They have been seen near the lowered Owl box.

I feel whitethroat and willow warbler are quite plentiful, as also stonechat.
