On Sunday 17th August David Redhead located all 11
tagged eggs and added a further 20 eggs to the count, tagged this time with
white wool.
Out of these 31 eggs he recorded 5 sets of doublets – a high proportion
of twins in a relatively small area.
Many of the BH adults recorded so far this year were in trees on the
right of this photograph. The brown area visible below the Ash was
the site of a large stand of Blackthorn cut at the end of July as part of the
on-going and successful Blackthorn Management Plan. This is a
Management Plan carefully developed by Nathan Walton, Wildlife Trust Reserves
Officer for Pembrokeshire, and based at The Wildlife Centre,
Cilgerran, in the North of the county.
