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 5^th 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.
