Lets hope the Stonechat makes a full recovery in your area Pete, maybe then,(selfishly) I might get one on passage!Warren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-88048483432599316572013-09-29T15:28:13.087+01:002013-09-29T15:28:13.087+01:00Are you absolutely certain, when you started surve...Are you absolutely certain, when you started surveying, Pete that the areas you looked at were prime first choice habitat/areas. If not, the discrepancy between your findings and the source you quote may be due to the birds re-colonising what they consider to be prime sites. Hopefully the populations will then again reach a level where they recolonise your survey areas. I urge you to investigate this as it may account for the discrepancy. In this respect, do you have data on the spread of Stonechats in Bowland after the previous low ebb e.g. which sites were recolonised first. This might be very helpful, especially if the habitats have not changed a great deal, facilitating comparison.Pete Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461363671751316069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003192502289547336.post-47389233279409661162013-09-29T14:00:13.301+01:002013-09-29T14:00:13.301+01:00cute birdcute birdAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051255914419363819noreply@blogger.com
