No, just at this site. Usually 5-7 regular territories, but still time for migrants to return. There are around 100 territories in Thetford Forest and lots more in the rest of Norfolk and Suffolk.

Part of the wintering Moorhen flock using riverside paddocks.
A new local record count of 58 #Moorhen spread across a few riverside paddocks. Some new arrivals swelling numbers in the current cold snap. Logged on BirdTrack. #ornithology @btobirds.bsky.social

Look at this map. Look at it! This is what Amur Falcons do! Their migration is jaw-dropping. You do not want to miss Suresh Kumar's @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social webinar next week! birdsoftheworld.org/bow/news/amu...

Think #stormpetrels just wing it to find a meal? 🍽️ Think again! Finally, our study is out: these tiny #seabirds use ocean dynamics to find #foraging grounds in the #WestMed. And guess what? Well-placed #MPAs help keep their ‘favorite restaurants’ open.🧑🍳 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
