I was down at Linacre this morning with 2 other members of the ringing group, carrying out a first check of the nestboxes. In total we found 28 active nests, all of which were Blue or Great Tits. In addition, a singing Pied Flycatcher was still in the same area as last week.
Other wildlife seen included 5 adult Greylag Geese and an adult Canada Goose on the top reservoir, the first singing Skylark of the year, a singing Stock Dove (first Linacre record and a "year tick"), 1 Common Buzzard and a male Roe Deer (my first ever Linacre record!!).

The first Mallard ducklings of the year were also seen today, 2 broods of 5 and 4.
