22/05 NEST BOX CHECKING 2017

A final check of fledglings yet to be ringed cleared the last three outstanding nest boxes. One nest box on Boxford Common had 5 Blue Tit pulli including 1 runt and 2 Great Tit pulli in the same nest; generating shared nest records.
All that is left to be done  this year is to check how many fledged from each nest box, probably try and check mid-June but usually end up waiting until Oct/Nov due to other priorities.
