Gwenffrwd - 30 May 2011

Unfortunately another wet damp start to the day, that fortunately later followed Saturdays pattern and cleared early afternoon allowing us another chance to get out today on some of the higher boxes in the Gwenffrwd Valley. It was rather damp under foot and with all the rain unsteady underfoot as the earth was prone to giving away and Denise returned slightly worse for wear having slipped over a few times. The total for the afternoon was:

Pied Flycatcher: adult 4: pulli - 59, re-traps - 5.
Great Tit: pulli - 8.

We also managed to find a Wood Warbler nest, but unknown to us the project team had been there already and had ringed/colour ringed them, plus we also found a Willow Warbler nest, but the young were too small to ring.

Nuthatch - pulli
