It was the second of my dusk sampling, this time at Maiden Erlegh Nature Reserve, not far from the campus wilderness. In total, I witnessed 16 species of bird throughout the evening (the weather was much nicer than the monday before!) and I recorded an additional 3 species. This brings the total for Maiden Erlegh to be 25 species of bird so far!
