Campus Woodland – Final Bird List

I have completed my bird survey on all three of my original field study sites – Campus Woodland, Maiden Erlegh and High Wood – and have decided to add two more for more comparisons on bird species richness.  These are  7.8 acre site Redhatch Copse behind Sibly Hall and 9.9 acre site Pearmans Copse. I will look to see the bird species richness and bird species composition in these areas for more comparisons. The final bird list for Campus is below, but if I have missed any, please let me know!
