I surveyed the North Mulligans area for the Blitz - a part of the reserve that 
I have not often visited.  Nothing spectacular to report but I did find a male 
Hooded Robin and the other notable thing was the number of Leaden Flycatchers - 
I counted 7, of which 6 were singing males.  This seems like quite a high count 
to me in what is a fairly small area.

Regards
Frank Antram
