common as a breeding bird and showed an interesting
pattern of dispersal. Just 15 breeding pairs were found
in 1998, but when Song Thrush was last surveyed in 2005,
the total had risen to 25 pairs. Within Eakring village
itself, mapping of male territories in 2005 suggested
that the concentrated population found in 1998, had
thinned and spread outwards as birds moved out of Eakring
village and into other sites across the area. In 1998,
there were only two breeding pairs found outside Eakring
village. These were at Kersall village and Hare Hill Wood
to the east of the recording area. |
