The Breeding Report for 2024 has now been published, and you can download it here: 2024 Cley Breeding Report.
This year had a similar outcome to 2023, where ground nesting waders suffered from high levels of predation, however reed bed dwelling passerines fared much better.
Highlights include another successful Spoonbill nest in North Foreland woods, along with good numbers of fledged Herons and Little Egrets and also good productivity of Bearded Tits.
