Nest Record Data 2010

In 2010 the boxes at all of our sites were checked on a regular basis during the breeding season and in most cases the pulli were ringed. In total 243 nest were recorded containing 1,830 eggs and from which 1,139 pulli eventually fledged, a twenty two percent reduction in survival compared with 2009.

The group submitted all 243 nest record cards to the BTO during 2010; six more than in 2009. The analysis is as follows:
