[Wetlandscommittee] Bird survey this week

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.
