Lesser Spotted young will start calling from the nest soon, giving a chance to monitor their brood size and diet. The last week in May/first week in June is usually when they’re heard calling. Here are young LSW calling from a birch stump (GSW clip next) LesserSpot Network






Interesting thread, congratulations Thomas Gibson for proving Lesser Spot breeding at this location. LSW sometimes fledge over a couple of days and the adults feed both the fledgelings and the chicks in the nest. Adults & fledglings all stay as a family group for several days




After months of monitoring Lesser Spots in the Blean complex this spring, the ultimate highlight was finding an active nest late this season!!! Since then, three chicks have successfully fledged LesserSpot Network
