Bird Sightings in Maugersbury Since 2000

​

Listed below are the birds sighted within the Parish of Maugersbury since the start of this Millennium.

​

M21 is very grateful to Roger Cadbury and Michael Lee for recent updates on bird sightings.

​

Happily there are additions now added to the list in highlights, i.e. brambling, cormorant, cuckoo, garden warbler, gold crest, hoopoe, kingfisher, red kite and stock dove.

 

Some species appear to be increasing in number, bullfinch, collared dove, goldfinch, nuthatch, raven and red kite.

 

Not so good, there are those being seen less often, i.e. house sparrow, willow tit, all three woodpeckers and yellow hammer.

 

Please let us know of any observation or sighting you wish to record.

The sighting by Estelle of this beautiful barn owl on the disused railway line in spring 2020 inspired the Phipp family to put up this Barn Owl Trust owl box in a nearby hedgerow, enthusiastically assisted by Ben and Estelle.
