Well done to all concerned.

Is Jennifer going to take soil core samples at feeding sites too? As I’m sure you know only too well, pitfall trapping is not the best replicate of Chough feeding techniques since they trap active surface-moving – often nocturnal – taxa and not subterranean larvae and worms etc.

Section 5.2.1 of my thesis addresses this question.

Best wishes for your great work.

Despite the unchartered winter weather ahead, I’m sure everyone has everything crossable crossed for the continuing success of the choughs and for Liz and the team – it’s a great project and a great website – a huge thank you to BOTE.
