This morning was my first morning data collection point at Pearman’s Copse. As it was before dawn, the M4 was relatively free of traffic, which meant I could actually hear bird song! In total, another 16 bird species were recorded as being present in the area, of which three species were not previously recorded – the Nuthatch, Jackdaw and Eurasian Starling.
The full alphabetical list is below:
- Blackbird (Turdus merula)
- Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)
- Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus)
- Carrion Crow (Corvus corone corone)
- Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs)
