Hello,
Attached the results of my bird survey this week, from Tuesday. A bit windy, but still plenty of birds around.
Noteworthy:
- 2 little grebe chicks, by now adult-sized but still stripey, on the Wetlands
- Spotted flycatcher observed building nest in the usual place, on the pipes of the Morgan data centre
- Great Spotted Woodpecker nest in the big G-Block/West Pav oak, chicks getting vocal
- Two starlings briefly seen flying, but I haven't seen them foraging on the lawn this year.
- No reed or sedge warblers, but reed buntings
- Garden warbler
- Two possible sightings of kingfisher at bend of the river, but not calling and being elusive (nest site?)
- Dead buzzard on the track to the sewage works. Cause of death unknown and probably several days ago. Picture available.
- Nuthatch heard briefly but on the Hinxton side, so not recorded.
Here's the transcript from the map:

Dear All,
On behalf of Lee Outhwaite (Head Gardener) please be aware of the below:
NOTICE TO WETLANDS VISITORS
A large willow tree in the wetlands area split and partially fell the week before last - some of you may have already seen it.
There are concerns about the stability of the remaining half of the tree, so Eastern Tree Surgery will be on site on May 15th to carry out work to reduce the height of the remaining trunk.
The work is expected to take approximately half a day. There are currently no plans to close the footpath, but we kindly ask that all visitors exercise caution in the area until the work is completed.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
The Sustainability Team
