CES 7 ...this year compared to last year
45 new birds this year ..31 last year.
18 retraps this year... 28 last year
Only one piece of data ...but supports the better breeding season this year following a poor breeding last year producing fewer birds to recapture.
14 new Chiffchaffs today and 7 Reed Warbler recaptures too...
