05/05/24 | Willow Warbler | Woolmer Forest | 4 | M Lawn |
singing males. Along western perimeter. There seems to be 8 establishef territories in total, one more than last year, but still pretty poor. With the amount of apparently suitable habitat I would have expected c.40 based on 1970s/80s standards. Shifting baseline syndrome! | ||||
01/05/24 | Willow Warbler | Woolmer Forest | 2 | M Lawn |
pair together. The 1st female I've seen so far. Got a glimpse of a probable courtship feed - I've not seen this often - fem seemed to be prospecting for a nest site. Unfortunately they're c.1 month behind the vegetation - ought to have young in the nest to be in sync. SU7933. | ||||

26/04/24 | Willow Warbler | Woolmer Forest | 6 | M Lawn |
singing males. I think there are 7 territories at present, but song output has been poor. I male seems to be developing a mixed song, but the Chiffchaff component is a bit feeble at the moment. | ||||
