A
close to average catch for CES#5 but heavily biased in favour of resident as
opposed to migrant species. We wondered if the Robins in particular
are benefitting from the absence of Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs. A single
Bee Orchid and an early Pyramidal Orchid brightened the site with large numbers
of various bee species enjoying the flowering Brambles.
