Sculthorpe Moor - 26th April 2023

 We went to monitor the birds in the beaver enclosure at Sculthorpe Moor today and for the first time in a few months were joined by DKH. Numbers were a little better than our last session there, bolstered by a few more Chiffchaff and, strangely, four Treecreeper. At this time of year 17 isn't too bad considering there were no tits, Dunnocks or Wrens captured, probably a reflection of the number of residents already sitting on eggs.

We processed our first Willow Warblers for the year today.

5M Reed Bunting

Observations included male Cuckoo, 2 Little Egret, Barn Owl, Buzzard, Red Kite and 2 Little Ringed Plover.
