The wet winter of 1946/47 greatly improved water levels. The chief victims have been Cettia cetti and Saxicola torquata. The early part of 1947 was unusually cold. The following are the main changes since 1938:‐ Increases: Corvw monedula, Milvus migrans, Larus argentatus michahellis, New breeding species: Merops apiaster. Expansion: Coracias garrulus. Decreases: Cettia cetti, Cisticola juncidis and Saxicola torquata (all three entirely gone); Remiz pendulimcs (slight); Gelochelidon nilotica (local); and, perhaps, Leucopolius alexandrinus. Phmicopterus ruber bred in 1947. This species also nested successfully in 1942. Vanellus vanellus and, perhaps, Upupa epops and Athene noctua. 1500 pairs fledged about 2000 chicks.
