Special Surveys for 2007

BIRDS: PIED FLYCATCHERS.

This year we are taking a special look at Pied Flycatchers for our bird survey.

The Pied Flycatcher was selected for the Society’s logo because of our work providing around 200 nest boxes in Exmoor woodlands in order to encourage breeding.

Please keep a look-out for Pied Flycatchers in old established woodland on Exmoor and let us know where and when you see these distinctive black and white birds. The female is duller and more brown than black. They are summer visitors and usually arrive in May.

Details of any sightings during 2007 will be welcome, please report: number of birds seen, date seen, location (with map reference if possible), and details of any activity such as singing, feeding, nesting, carrying food, etc. and also add your name and address.

See “Your Records” section re sending records by email.
