Farmland birds are coming into breeding condition and winter flocks have begun to disperse across the landscape with noticeably more males now singing and setting up territories. This made for a quiet morning with 51 birds caught, including 45 Yellowhammers.
I haven't posted about this cos I'm awful at social media. But I'm proud to say that an idea I've had for a few years now is finally happening. #ProjectPeewit is go go go. If you see a Lapwing in Wiltshire in the next few months please let us know. tinyurl.com/Projectpeewit
Rob is new to the project and doing a great job👏.

Tree Sparrows do not winter at this site. They have just arrived back, so I have started feeding them to give them the best chances of breeding successfully. They have already started cleaning their nests. Exciting times🤞
Last week we were out helping training with Natural England on how habitat for farmland birds can be provided alongside sustainable food production. Lots of great discussions surrounding the use of Countryside Stewardship and SFI options, as well as regenerative farming practices
Drax power station are marking #IntlForestDay by publishing their annual report. They sourced over 8 million tonnes of wood, and burned over 5 million tonnes, & took it from places similar like this in Estonia. #ForestDay
We interrupt our usual weather updates with a special forecast for the future… @UNDP #WeatherKids weatherkids.org
A milestone for @BibbeysWildFarm and an emotional experience for me The improving habitat means that Yellowhammer territories have increased. This was probably the first singing bird to be heard from Bromsgrove Road this century! Linnet on both farms flew to me this morning 😊
And yet, the councils continue to needlessly cut verges & hedgerows!

Thrilled to receive my S-permit this week having started ringing ten years ago, aged 13. A big thanks to everyone but especially @mattthesparrow who’s training, sarcasm and “character building” have helped get me where I am now. Hopefully many more decades running around farms!
Calls from @LibDems to put @officialthameswater into special measures; they are seeking £2.5billion bailout, want customer bills up by 40% have declined ANY funds to industry wide infrastructure improvements, and want to reduce penalties for sewage outages @RiverActionUK
Last night we were surveying the owls that overwinter on rough grassland on the edge of the North Wessex Downs. We ringed four Short-eared Owls which were all above the average weight and clearly ready to make the movement north to breeding grounds in Scotland and Scandinavia.
Morning surveys proved successful today with 212 birds ringed including 131 Linnets and 48 Yellowhammers. Stars of the show were ten Corn Buntings present and two ringed, the first overwintering records for the farm thanks to the stewardship options implemented by the farmer.
This is Andy or @handles4forks. Andy is a brilliant nature friendly farmer, who quietly does so much for farmland birds, whilst running a farm. Since 2014 we have seen Corn bunting numbers increase from 2 to 50+ thanks to him! A real nature hero! Yesterday we caught a few too!
Super little session today on the Pewsey Downs. 30 Tree Sparrows, 140 Corn Buntings and 200+ Corn Buntings present. Undoubted star of the day was a female Yellowhammer ringed by @WOXFarmBirds 35km away in January 2023 - an extraordinary movement for a normally, sedentary bird.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sad news that our friend, valued colleague and leader of the Duck Specialist Group, Richard Hearn, has lost his battle with illness and has sadly passed away. Read about Rich's work - ducksg.org/2024/02/status…
A short gap in the weather allowed for a fantastic survey on the Lambourn Downs this morning. Although we only ringed 78 birds this included 37 Yellowhammers and 17 Corn Buntings. The gamekeeper and farmer are now even more keen to create new areas of habitat for farmland birds.

Tonight I found 11 nests with eggs at the one site, with four of them incubating. That's a great start🤞.
Stunning session monitoring Tree Sparrow survival for @_BTO RAS Project. We were at the site marked red. We recaptured Tree Sparrows that we have ringed as nestlings at many sites up to 9km away across the Downs. There were 60 Tree Sparrows present and we ringed and retrapped 51!
We had an absolute treat tonight as we ringed the most stunning male Whinchat I have ever seen.
Today was a busy but extremely rewarding day, first meeting with farmers to discuss creation of new species-rich floodplain meadows. We then distributed 200kg of supplementary bird seed across five farms, before finishing with a talk on farmland birds to a local village group.
Farmland birds are coming into breeding condition and winter flocks have begun to disperse across the landscape with noticeably more males now singing and setting up territories. This made for a quiet morning with 51 birds caught, including 45 Yellowhammers.
#SAVCurlews 2024 is go go! The first nest found by @Dan_Gornall yesterday. Both him & @andy_scott95 are about to get busy! #Fieldwork
We ringed our first nestlings of the year today. I love the eye colour of baby Rooks!
There is no let up: I gave a talk on farmland birds to a local gardening group last night. With the help of a farmer, I put up 27 nest boxes for Tree Sparrows this evening - that's 50 put up on this farm in the past month.
I haven't posted about this cos I'm awful at social media. But I'm proud to say that an idea I've had for a few years now is finally happening. #ProjectPeewit is go go go. If you see a Lapwing in Wiltshire in the next few months please let us know. tinyurl.com/Projectpeewit
A Brilliant morning at CWP the highlight finding a summer plumage Black Necked Grebe at Eysey 305. New for the year Reed & Sedge Warblers, Yellow Wags, Common Sand & Redshank. A redhead Gooseander flew into the same flooded field! #cwpbirds
A decent gap in bad weather yesterday meant the team could get out and ring another Raven nest in an abandoned towerhouse. The biggest brood of the year so far with 4 chicks. At over 1kg each they are the biggest passerine in the world @_BTO @NPWSIreland @BirdWatchIE @_EURING
Rob is new to the project and doing a great job👏.
I am still in awe of being involved in working with farmland birds in the Pewsey Vale. Today I fed two sites on the downs supporting corn buntings and tree sparrows.
Perks: Free accommodation and all meals provided at one of Britain's top migration hotspots! Ideal candidates will hold a C-permit or higher (including mist net endorsement) Full role description and application form can be found here 👇landmarktrust.org.uk/.../volunteers…
Tree Sparrows do not winter at this site. They have just arrived back, so I have started feeding them to give them the best chances of breeding successfully. They have already started cleaning their nests. Exciting times🤞
Great news! 🥳 Feels like only a couple of years ago we were reading the press release celebrating 100 booming males, and now at least 234 'boomers' last year! Shows that we can help turn things around given the chance #WetlandsAreAmazing theguardian.com/environment/20…
Missed an Osprey 😐😭
Brilliant morning in the Kennet Valley. 146 birds ringed of 22 species. It was all about Redpolls with 80 Lesser Redpolls ringed and 2 that have been ringed elsewhere. A Common Redpoll was our first for 5 years, hopefully these pics give a nice comparison of Common v Lesser.
Wasn't expecting this today @FI_Obs! A flash of blue down at the bottom of a cliff revealed the isle's 28th record of Red-flanked Bluetail, though just the second ever in spring - magic!
Highlight of today was this cracking Red-flanked Bluetail found by @AlexPenn_1 this afternoon. The first I have seen and special seeing it hopping around on the beach if a little distant. Was also nice to see this Black Restart at the bottom of a Geo. Cracking birding @FI_Obs !
