Based on our audio recordings, we estimate first arrival dates at the nest boxes were April 9th (6 Eggs) and April 11th (5 Eggs).
Photos taken on May 7th.

So far we have two recorders on boxes where nest building is underway, and two recorders at boxes on neighbouring trees to the pied fly nests.
Found time to ring Dipper pulli for the first time as well.

It checked out a nest box (one we haven’t got a recorder on - typical) but got chased off by a Blue Tit.
He then moved to an area with good recorder coverage - time to dive into the audio and track down that first detection!

We'll use Kaleidoscope Pro to process the data. Thanks to @wildlifeacoustics.bsky.social for the software grant!

All going well, the data will link breeding behaviour to arrival date, refining a key migration model parameter.
Excited to see what we find!
