Data Collection Day 12 – High Wood Wokingham

Today was the final of my data collection points at High Wood in Wokingham behind Bulmershe Campus. Because last week I was unable to undertake a dawn sample, that was done this morning from 05:45 onwards. In total, 8 species were witnessed, with a further 9 being identified via the voice recorder, one of which – willow warbler – not being previously recorded.

The alphabetical list for the birds witnessed this morning are:

  • Blackbird (Turdus merula)
  • Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)
  • Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus)
  • Carrion Crow (Corvus corone corone)
  • Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)
  • Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita)
  • Coal Tit (Parus ater)
