Migrants were thin on the ground today, but the baby bird season is now upon us. More and more juvenile starlings are appearing on the reserve, the local great tits have fledged young on the wing, and we've recorded juvenile blackbirds, robins and dunnocks in recent days. That being said, a reed warbler and a blackcap were singing from the observatory grounds so there's still a trickle of migration.


Flame Shoulder is a common species whose numbers have been declining here. 

Birds Ringed: Blue Tit 1, Robin 1, Starling 3.
