    I'm sorry to have taken so long in commenting on John's excellent illustration of the whereabouts of the Avocet broods. It seems that the most productive locations were nearest to the hide. I don't remember seeing them this close before. Were any of the nests actually in the grass? Peter

    Well done, everyone at Upton. Also my congratulations to the birders of Trittiford. This used to be my local patch when I lived in Hall Green, and I know how difficult it is to see a range of species there; certainly I never got near their total of 47. Peter

    My best wishes to all of the above, not forgetting the forum posters and the odd statistician. Peter

    Phil, Am I right in thinking that the numbers of Snipe seen over this past winter are lower than previous years? Peter

    Phil, Might it find a place on the cover of the Birds of Upton Warren 2017? Peter

    No one could accuse you of lacking ambition, John. My only concern is the placing of posts for gulls in the North Moors Pool as these could threaten the chicks of smaller birds there. I know that Phil thought that the many perching points at the Flashes allowed the buzzard to predate young...

    Keith, You are doing yourself an injustice here: your first photo of the egret in flight brilliantly reveals the hidden structure of the wing. Peter

    John, Have the increased numbers of Avocets this year, and the alterations made to the land layout, resulted in any changes in the choice of nesting and feeding areas? Also are the clutch sizes the same? Peter

    Des, Presumably these terns were on the large raft. Was there any sign of terns occupying the newly-refurbished small rafts? Peter

    Perhaps it might be a project for a work-party in the autumn to make the fence-posts too uncomfortable for perching? Peter

    Today's Work Party at the Moors We completed two unfinished tasks today: the new hedge was taken up to the West Hide, and the area behind it had blackthorn and bramble cut down to improve the views from the West Hide towards the north-east. There were nine of us - Paul, Bob P., Dave, Jim...

    Bob, We got a rat tick from the West Hide today. It was easier to see than the stonechat. Peter

    John, After lunch in the East Hide I saw a large (40+) flock of fieldfares flying S-E over Lifestyles. Peter

    Thanks, Andy. There are at least half a dozen boxes along that stretch so it will be interesting to see which, if any, are occupied. Peter

    Nice pics, Trace. Was the sprawk just taking a dip or was there a snack under it? Peter

    Moors work party We had another very productive (i.e. destructive) session: last week's debris at Amy's Marsh was burnt, the board walk behind the West hide was cleaned and the surrounds cleared; the reed-mace and willows to the right of the hide were cleared and burnt to give a good view of...

    John, I came across this report from the website of the Edward Grey Institute for Field Ornithology. It seems your observations of low numbers of Tits have been replicated at Wytham Wood, Oxon, where, as I am sure you know the birds are watched intensely. ยป Wytham tit breeding season 2016...

    Great picture, as ever, Vern. Sorry to miss you. Were you downstairs in the hide? Peter
