Location: Greenham
Common Feeder visit 07 of 10
Session: 04-Feb-2018 07:40 to
11:20hrs
Headlines: It seems that since
the turn of the year avian feeder attendance has tailed off leaving mostly
local birds that have become a bit net shy. The exception to this seems to be
the Bagnor Feeder where the number of particularly Blue Tit is better than
Greenham; it will be interesting how we do for this visit at the Snelsmore Feeder The capture makeup is much the same as last year’s visit 07, except a better variety of species. Unfortunately
no winter finches have arrived and/or found the feeders; these account for the high number captured in previous winter periods.
Weather: dull, cold, moderate
breeze, sometimes gusty.
Present: JL, GB, IW, VG, JHW,
DL, JPM, SC (cake-man)
Nets: 88metres, 10m, 12,
12m around feeders, 12m, 12m, 12m in west scrub and 18M scrub next to cattle pen up from 08:00 to
11:00hrs
