After another succesful season at Nanjizal, the nets were finally taken down yesterday. Whilst there are boind to be a few more wintering Chiffchaff and Yellow-browed Warblers on site, it's time to focus on other things.
So time for a quick summary of the 2014 season, when an exceptional 5524 birds were ringed. The top five species ringed for the year were:
|
2014 total |
Blackcap |
1305 |
Sedge Warbler |
1274 |
Chiffchaff |
753 |
Whitethroat |
353 |
Robin |
304 |
But some of the totals of scarcer species are perhaps more notable:
|
2014 total |
Tree Pipit |
9 |
Grasshopper Warbler |
146 |
Yellow-browed Warbler |
10 |
Firecrest |
9 |
Add to these totals a fair smattering of rarities (Aquatic Warbler, Paddyfield Warbler, Barred Warbler, Common Rosefinch and Little Bunting) and it's been a good year! If anyone is interested in ringing at Nanjizal (and joining the autumn warbler monitoring at Marazion Marsh RSPB reserve), then check out more details on the
Nanjizal page.
