Birds are starting to claim territories for the forthcoming breeding season, now that the days are starting to get longer again. It’s quite incredible how birds can detect the smallest of change in the length of daylight hours, but now we are past the longest day, 22nd December, male birds are now starting to lay claim to their territory in Snape Wood.

If you watch and listen, you can already hear woodpigeons, collared doves, great tits, blackbirds, wrens and robins giving out the breeding calls. Blackbirds, wrens, dunnocks and robins are already engaging in battle with each other to get the best positions – you can witness many squabbles going on around you.

The wildlife is alive and kicking already !
