Thanks for reports so far. This project aims to record
occurrence of 10 Winter ‘scarcities’ in the broader COG area of
interest. It is limited to the 8 weeks to 31 July. Please send any
reports either to the chatline or to me directly. Late reports are welcome
and will be incorporated - if you can give the date.
Below is the summary for week 1. I’ll defer any
discussion until the end, but 2 quick points: (a) it seems that the F-t
Cuckoos reported in ANBG up to early June may have moved away. I’d
still expect one or two in the period. (b) the dozen-odd D Swallows
on Thurs/Fri were probably the same group in the woodland on the NW side of
Lake Ginn.
I’m keeping a record of locations to see if there’s
any pattern there.
