Weir Wood Reservoir
Reptiles etc
- I took the day off from this activity, doing the nest boxes with Alan, Bob D and Shaun instead. Bob S, TH_J and RL reported 5 Grass Snakes, 15 Field Voles, 6 Toads, 1 Lizard, 5 Wood Mice and a Water Shrew.
Nest Boxes
We only did the high boxes today. - Mandarin nests invariably had large numbers of eggs in them.
- Stock Dove nests tended to contain 2 "squabs".
- There was no sign of Barn Owls but we did get a good view of the Tawny Owl as it left its nest box.
Around the Reserve
- On the reserve, in general, the highlights were 4-5 Garden Warblers some Blackcaps, Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs , a Nuthatch and Canada Geese with goslings in tow.
- The Bluebells were at or just beyond their peak, making a superb blue carpet in the woods.
