Arfon is hoping that this yr’s CES type effort will lead to Cors Caron changing into one other CES for the TRG.
On the north Pembs coast our Linnet RAS web site is continuous to catch nicely.
This leucistic Linnet stood out from the common plumage birds. The final two periods have produced largely juvenile birds, presumably the adults now on second nesting makes an attempt.
A color ringed Osprey was across the Teifi from the thirtieth Could till the sixth June.

| Osprey 7H6 – Stuart Corridor |
Many because of a number of photographers for reporting this fowl from Curlew Disguise on the Teifi Marshes. It was one among a brood of three ringed 10km south of Inverness, on a platform that the nest was moved to after a few years of getting the unique nest web site robbed within the mid 90’s.
The birds have since been profitable in all besides one yr and normally handle to fledge three chicks as they did in 2022 when Jon Mind ringed this one on 1 July. The nest has had a spectacular success charge for subsequent sightings together with a fowl seen in Guinea Bissau. Because of Jon Mind for the information and pictures.

This hyperlink covers a abstract of our Pembs areas, hopefully a abstract of our Ceredigion research to comply with.
The Group runs a number of nest field schemes and have added a brand new web site this yr, the Nationwide Botanic Backyard of Wales close to Carmarthen. Ellyn has been assisted by Andrew find present packing containers and monitoring them. Ellyn has written an article concerning the nest field work as a part of Wales Nature Week
Feathers and Fledglings: A Nesting Season on the Backyard
June sees the beginning of our Storm Petrel monitoring. 5 visits to our Storm Petrel websites to date this season, Mwnt and Strumble. 37 new birds and a couple of that had been ringed elsewhere, Bardsey and Mwnt. We plan to extend our trapping efforts this summer time and have demonsrations deliberate for native teams at our Strumble Head web site.

Winter nightime research….
Resulting from a number of of the Group’s ringers spending spells in November and February ringing beneath the brand new moon in The Gambia, our winter farmland surveying and ringing at evening has been diminished. This notably impacts our north Pembs farmland websites. Arfon is taking out trainees and his comparable research on Ceredigion and Carmarthen upland farms are producing glorious outcomes and a few attention-grabbing recoveries…

Visiting ringers to our websites….
We are sometimes ready to welcome visiting ringers .. or observers to hitch or watch our actions
Jenny spent a couple of days with us ringing at CES, and each our important Reed Warbler RAS and Reed Bunting RAS and color ringing websites.
June was not an incredible month for a number of of our species with indicators of poor breeding success. Hopefully because the climate improves and permits we shall be extra lively within the reedbeds and throughout the Marshes and produce a extra full image.
