| Breeding was first proved
here in 2003 and one or two have been bred more or less
annually since then, reaching a maximum count of three
pairs in 2004. Breeding birds have usually remained in
the area until around late June and early July and males
which arrived in April, have started to sing occasionally
again in July. Completely new birds have turned up in mid-July and then held territory for a few days at previously unoccupied sites well away from Eakring Flash, but a very late male once arrived at Eakring Flash on June 22nd 2004 and sang till August 5th. |
