June to August
At least three pairs of blackcaps and several chiffchaffs were building nests; one obliging blackcap built its nest right in front of the bird hide, whilst blackbirds, song and mistle thrushes were seen carrying food to their nests. A few lapwings were using the scrape pool to feed on the exposed mud, together with a pair of moorhens and the pair of shelducks.

June to August 08
The little owl hatched four young but only two fledged. From watching the actions at the nest it was surmised that the male had fallen prey to a sparrowhawk just before the young hatched: with only one adult being seen on the webcam. Interestingly prey brought to the nest included a dunlin and a blackbird besides the usual mice etc. It is hoped that the webcam can be placed in a better position at the nest before next year.
