Now is your last chance to find a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker nest. For the next week LSW young will be calling from the nest hole and you may hear them. So have a good search in your local woods. LesserSpotNet volunteers are already watching/monitoring twelve nests in the Midlands & South England.

Lots of new females have shown up and spring is going bonkers in the woods. Lots of singing, males defending territories and showing females some holes. Lots of fun. @piedflynet.bsky.social

First Blue tit egg at East Dartmoor was April 4 2025. There are 3 earlier lay dates since mid-1950s, all in 2019. Probably about 1 in 8 pairs have started laying - much the same pattern as in 2019. Suggests we can expect first Pied Flycatcher eggs 2 weeks from now. #phenology

Worrying news from the heartland of Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers in Britain. Meanwhile, in #Wales the number of sites at which LSW is recorded has more than halved in the last 15 years (chart from forthcoming @birdsinwales.bsky.social 2023 Bird Report). Sad times. #BirdingWales (1/2)
