Tonight was the time for my data collection at Pearmans copse woodland, which is a 9 acre site near the m4. It has managed coppiced ash, hazel and field maple and is classed as a wildlife heritage site. Unfortunately, the weather was against me somewhat, and there was a slight drizzle all night. But in total, 17 species of bird were spotted, which isn’t too bad considering the weather!The full alphabetical list is below:
- Blackbird (Turdus merula)
- Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)
- Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus)
- Carrion Crow (Corvus corone corone)
