Totals and movements of 2024

Last year was another full of various activities, CES, several RAS and a colour- ringing project. General migration monitoring at several sites to more precise activities like regular whoosh netting. A variety of nesting studies with 231 Nest Record returns.

From this remarkable occurrence in a mist net, an adult Peregrine Falcon

to the more common study species, one of our colour ringed Reed Buntings.  

A RAS project now in it's 12th year, the photo by one of the Teifi Marshes Reserve's regular photographers, a great example of our partnership with the WTSWW.

All the main activities and results are posted in an ongoing way - see the posts made during the year, but do ask us for any further details.

The Group AGM is on this Thursday 23rd  with (16 confirmed so far) members attending. Several of the Group will be eating in The Grosvenor, Cardigan, before the meeting if anyone else fancies pre meeting meal and chat.

A good  opportunity to meet members of the Group you don't regularly meet, to discuss further any activities both local studies and help provided elsewhere..

The moon helps lamping now, so hopefully nighttime activities may supplement the rather limited mist netting over the next few weeks..
