So far this spring 160 Sedge Warblers have been ringed on the Teifi Marshes, mostly birds on migration. Two were also caught that we had ringed in previous years. The biggest Sedge Warbler migration day was on the 4th May, a predictable date with 43 ringed and one with a Brussels ring.

Pied Flycatcher monitoring is underway in several woodlands. In Cwm Rheidol, a WTSWW reserve, Naomi has 2 breeding adults that were ringed in the same wood in 2021 as pulli and now nesting less than 200 metres from where they fledged.
A summary of the Pied Flycatcher season to follow in a couple of weeks. Some of the Group have been helping Fledgemore RG with their large Pied Flycatcher RAS at the Gwenffrwd Dinas reserve. It will be interesting to compare breeding success in the different woods.
Dipper monitoring is also continuing with the outcome of several second broods awaited.
CES Studies..
At Cors Caron, Arfon is leading the preparation for a new 6 net CES.
The Llechryd garden CES has started with predictably low numbers of adults until the young birds fledge.
