Hello Neil,
I did the bird count yesterday. It was pretty quiet, but good to see a lot of greenfinches, and a few chaffinches.
No little grebes, or green woodpeckers, although they are definitely around. A lot of blackcaps and chiffchaffs.
Map attached.
Thanks,
Sabine

Hi Sabine,
Can I ask a favour? I missed the last Wetlands committee meeting and so didn't present the results of the 2023 Wetlands Common Bird Census or announce the survey for 2024. Usually, there is a survey for either the last week in March or the first week of April. I'm away in Malaysia from Thursday until Friday 5th April, so I can't do the first survey for the year. Would you be able to do it? Then I can set up a rota for the rest of the season.

Hello,
Have you noticed the waxwings on campus?
29 were perched on the little oak north of the main EBI yesterday morning, and I've just spotted about 15 on an alder next to the orchard.
I suppose they are feeding on a tree with berries somewhere in the vicinity.
Thanks,
Sabine
