Meadow pipit |
401 of 30 species is a significant improvement of 2021's 285 of 30. This is perhaps due to the dry and warm conditions experienced this year, rain not stopping play as much as it could have. Certain species have been far better represented than last year with Willow Warbler captures in 2022 being over double that of 2021. Meadow Pipit numbers also were over double last years, though with this species it is more effort and weather dependant than others. Grey Wagtails were significantly down from 56 last year to 18 in 2022, though the effort has been identical. Blackcap and Chiffchaff numbers were up this year, though both species, and Blackcap in particular are nowhere near as abundant as they were. We seem to have experienced a mini 'invasion' of Blue and Great Tits this autumn, both were in single figures in 2021, with Blue Tits this year being the second most ringed species of September at 61.
