First dates for capture of young on Landsort 2016

As the breeding season is now completed, we thought it would be interesting to provide some information on the first dates that young were caught for a range of species.

 

There's no real 'science' behind this data, it is just for interest. For most species on the list the date shown is the date we caught the first fledged bird. Where the date relates to a bird seen, not caught, this is mentioned in the text.  

 

Enjoy.
