13 April 2008 - Penduline Tit
CWP 68c/d: Penduline Tit found this morning in the area where the old hide used to be. Last seen around 10.30 hours.
Bird is ringed and very elusive following release. It has been heard calling from near the footpath. View only from the public footpath, do not enter the site. Due to the health and safety issues involved at the 68c/68d site, and the potential disturbance to nesting birds, any unauthorised access to the site will result in the suppression of future rarities found at this site.
