Redwing calls – 377

Blackbird calls – 52

Song Thrush calls – 5

Teal – 1

Curlew – 1

Moorhen – 1

Oystercatcher – 4

Once we’ve been through all recordings from thurs, fri and sat night we’ll post some on our sightings blog.

Sightings from today included a few Lesser-spotted Woodpecker with one in the tree line leading down to Lytchett Fields and 2 at Holton Lee. Out on Lytchett Fields there were 6 Greenshank, 2 Green Sandpiper and a Marsh and Hen Harrier hunting too. On Brownsea there were 4 Sandwich Tern and a Firecrest was at PC World again.
