Winter Wren Troglodytes troglodytes (Linnaeus, 1758)
Common, resident. Breeds. May be seen in any month.
I have been conducting regular spring passerine counts around the perimeter of the lake using a similar methodology to that of the BTO Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). I count singing males within the lakeside boundary. My survey walks are conducted by walking in a clockwise direction around the lake during the first week in April and May (or, as close as I can make them), early in the morning in good weather conditions (ideally sunny and still). The 2001 gap in the April counts was due to restricted access during a foot and mouth outbreak/ to be continued.
