Bird Count ... 19th June 2014

a link tothe spreadsheet of the observations is at the bottom.


43 species counted.

a surprising number of blackcap 10, mostly male and singing.   And whitethroats at 8 were a good number of these later arrivals.

Great spotted woodpecker also achieved 10, which seems more than normal to be observed, maybe this is driven by feeding young?  similarly nuthatch at 7, and tree creeper at 4

Redstart at 19 was perfectly respectable, as were stonechat at 17.

Woodlark and tree pipit  in usual places but the numbers could have been higher.

As usual the odd yellowhammer and redpoll around and possibly breeding.


A grand total of 320 birds for the day.  Or about one a minute.
