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.
