Today was the final data collection point for my dissertation study, and it was the last dawn sample at Pearmans Copse by the M4. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit against me, with a few showers happening, but all in all 16 species were recorded or witnessed with the Long Tailed Tit not previously being recorded in the area. This gave a total of 21 bird species which were witnessed and recorded in my sample time.
The full alphabetical list is below:
- Blackbird (Turdus merula)
- Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)
- Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus)
- Carrion Crow (Corvus corone corone)
