Bird Count ... 25th July 2014

link to spreadsheet at bottom of page

35 species observed.  The numbers sometimes drop with the breeding over and moulting starting.

The linnet numbers this year at 12 were good for the reserve.

Mistle thrushes are early breeders, and sometimes congregate at Old Lodge.  Having 17 at this stage is probably normal.  There is another peak later in the autumn with continental influxes.

Stonechats numbers at 15 are bolstered by young and/or second broods

only 217 birds observed, and probably far more hiding in the bracken.
