Linacre Nestboxes - 21st May 2022

 Since my last post about the nestboxes, there have been a couple of extra visits, and the first chicks have been ringed. 

To date, 12 broods of chicks have been ringed (6 Great Tits and 6 Blue Tits). In addition, a singing Pied Flycatcher was found on 14th May, but unfortunately, no nest has been found. Two of the owl boxes have had Mandarin eggs laid in them, but no adults have been ringed.

Other breeding news includes several broods of Mallard, and 1 brood each of Moorhen, Coot and Mandarin Duck.
