Our study of these two species At Leighton Moss continues well
To date we have caught 27 Adult Male Bearded Tits the same as in the whole of the 2009 season which extended to late November. We have only caught 10 adult females again suggesting there is a surplus of males. Of these 37 adults only one had not been ringed in previous years.
Three catches of juveniles resulted in 41 being caught and colour ringed, well on the way to last years total for the whole season of 104 juveniles.
To date we have caught 146 adult Reed Warblers of these 72 were ringed in previous seasons as follows
2002 1 Seven years and 259 days after ringing
2003 2
2004 4
2005 2
2006 3
2007 16
2008 11
2009 35
Juveniles are now appearing but first impressions are that they are latter than 2009
