Hi All, 

These sightings are great!

My colleague Fiona also spotted a water vole (last Friday, Fiona's photo attached) which is very exciting. A few of us also saw a swimming grass snake at Thursday lunchtime (James’ photo attached, grass snake is fairly well camouflaged). 

Thanks, 

Emma

Hello Norman,

There was a treecreeper nest with fledglings in the big pine at the West Pavilion lake in 2019.

Thanks,

Sabine

good record Sabine, iirc Neil used to record them on the wetlands about 10 years ago but I don't recall any being recorded for many years

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
