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.
PLANTS.
Our recording of wild flowers found within 1 km squares
on Exmoor continues. If you would like to help with this,
please email
our secretary. |
