Nanjizal 2014 totals

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.
