Hello!
My frist data collection trip was undertaken yesterday on the 12 acre campus woodland behind the Harbourne building, and I managed to identify 19 different species, which isn’t too bad for a first effort! 13 species I managed to identify whilst walking. including an amazing Sparrowhawk nest complete with adult and Juvenile bird, and 6 species were identified from the recordings and bird song CD at home. One thing I can say, is that campus has a thriving Woodpigeon community!
In alphabetical order, the birds which were identified yesterday were:
- Blackbird (Turdus merula)
- Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus)
- Carrion Crow (Corvus corone corone)
- Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)
- Coal Tit (Parus ater)
- Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)
- Dunnock (Prunella modularis)
- Great Tit (Parus major)
- Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis)
- House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)
- Jackdaw (Corvus monedula)
- Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
- Magpie (Pica pica)
- Nuthatch (Sitta europaea)
- Red Kite (Milvus milvus)
- Robin (Erithacus rubecula)
- Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)
- Woodpigeon (Columba palumbus)
- Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes)
If there is any that anyone else spots in the campus woodland, please let me know!
