Juvenile Acrocephalus Numbers

The following table summarises the number of juvenile Acrocephalus warblers ringed on the Teifi Marshes up to the end of July for each of the last eight years.

RW = Reed Warbler
SW = Sedge Warbler
effort = ringing sessions, i.e. a combination of the number of days and different sites at which ringing took place.
RW/e and SW/e indicate the number of new juvenile birds ringed per session, rounded to the nearest whole bird!


RW SW effort RW/e SW/e
2014 131 98 26 5 4
2015 89 53 17 5 3
2016 82 67 22 4 3
2017 84 120 21 4 6
2018 99 132 28 4 5
2019 30 46 18 2 3
2020 57 64 20 3 3
2021 48 58 14 3 4

 

The numbers will be a function of both the number of breeding pairs present and of their breeding success.
