Hello All,
I have seen the Spotted Flycatcher nest today, it is indeed on the downpipes of the Data Centre in Morgan. I saw two fully feathered chicks, they look ready to fledge.
Thanks,
Sabine

Thanks, Sabine. I'm glad to hear the Spotted Flycatchers are back: I didn't see them when I did my survey in mid-May. The Nuthatch sighting is interesting; they are not common birds in Cambridgeshire, which is the least forested county in England. I also thought the Wetlands were overgrown and the lakes difficult to see into; I did have a male Tufted Duck.
Neil.

Hello Neil,
Here's the map for yesterday's bird survey. Thanks to Chris who came along and helped.
Points of note: the wetlands is so overgrown that we couldn't see any waterfowl (just heard a moorhen).
It was fairly quiet, with blackbirds, wrens, blue tits and LTTs observed feeding young.
No starlings on the lawn, but about 50 jackdaws.
There were surprisingly few feral pigeons around this time.
The highlight was spotted flycatchers, one bird territorial next to the Morgan Building (the nest might be on the Data Centre downpipes again), and observed to have a tussle with another flycatcher.
No bullfinches.
A nuthatch was heard near the East Lodge, and another is regularly near the Tennis Court Suite (not on the map).
The badger sett at the water treatment facility looks deserted, which could account for the number of rabbits around.
Thanks,
Sabine

Thanks for the E-mail, Sabine, and a nice photo to boot. Checking back on my records, I last had evidence of breeding in 2018 when I saw a pair and there was a singing male. A pair were seen entering split in willow tree trunk near the Ford in 2016, and it was way back in 2013 when there was confirmed fledging: an adult and two juveniles.
Neil.

Hello, we had a fledgling treecreeper outside the G102 entrance this morning, probably stunned after a collision. It was well enough to try to escape. I stuck it to the oak tree, and it had moved away when I checked later.
A nice record for the campus breeding birds list.
Thanks,
Sabine
