Location: Greenham
Common Estovers Feeder
Session: 03-Dec-2017 07:30 to
11:20hrs
Headlines: Early captures kept
us busy until birds slowed coming to the feeder mid- session. The scrub areas
were very quiet. This visit 3 capture is different to the equivalent 16/17
winter visit in that Blue Tit and Goldfinch numbers are back to normal levels
so far this season. The few winter thrushes flying over did not react to the
audio unlike last winter’s equivalent visit. The Greenfinch flock was very
wary and did not drop down to the feeders; probably the time between rounds
was insufficient for them to settle. Being further from the nearest substantial
woodland than the Bagnor and Snelsmore fewer tits visit here; numbers often increase
later in the day as those visiting have further to travel. The eight years totals for visit 3 show this visit to be nearer the norm than the 2016/17 winter.
