Please keep sending in your breeding records to either your local 10km square coordinator or to ldbws.info@gmail.com . Many resident birds are fledging young and the early spring migrants are busy bringing food to chicks in nests and young of birds like tawny owl can be very vocal so it is a good time to get confirmed breeding evidence of many species. In particular, we’d be interested to receive your breeding records for under-recorded species which include but arent limited to raven, Dipper, kestrel, tawny owl, mistle thrush and starling.
We had a group fieldwork session in north east of our recording area. Thanks to Jane and Andrew who helped out. We will do another session on Saturday 7th June so hopefully those who booked on originally but had to miss out due to various commitments could take part next time.
