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.

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. Dr Neil D.
