although they are just coming to completion below is a report produced for a deer reserve and environment education centre in the south lakes which no longer supports many pied flycatcher apologies for the simplistic style it is for joe public posted by o1229 ringing group at 08 22 3 comments sunday 21 july 2013 this mixed year being too close to the sea our group s main site is not a constant effort site and so we have no accurate means of comparing years having said this the general consensus is warbler adult numbers are down but breeding success is high the marsh tit study indicates a good breeding season and hopefully will arrest the decline other nest box species were successful although box occupancy indicated lower numbers little and artic tern again had a disastrous breeding year and also the waders below is the totals for the 34 species the group is involved with the exception of twite and waders which are on separate databases and my lack of skill does not allow me to combine these easily posted by o1229 ringing group at 08 56 no comments peregrines south cumbria the peregrines in cumbria have had a poor breeding season there were high hopes this year as most of the local birds had a years rest from breeding the previous year the average successful clutch was 1 66 and some birds did not attempt to breed for the second year the photographs below were taken at a site where the birds had a second attempt four eggs laid two young raised with one infertile egg the other the chick died during chipping out the eggs were sent to lancaster university for storage

net pole joint the first connecton between the pole that is pushed into the ground and the next standard pole often sticks because i tend to push one in to the ground with the other the plain end rides over the swaged end my solution is simply to hacksaw 6 mm off the plain end of a standard pole and push it onto the swaged taper it is not advisable to do this with the remaining poles as they will slip out when raising the net if on occasion you need to temporarily lower a net the fact that this lower joint comes apart easily is of some advantage i hope this stops people having to lower their back seats in order to transport their poles ken hindmarch posted by o1229 ringing group at 06 12 1 comment tuesday 19 february 2013 recent dunlin recoveries and controls recent dunlin
