Bird foraging for food. She was feeding a single young which wasn't of the nest & fully fledged. The female was feeding in the habitat represented by the last replicate of the Beach Bird count & which incidentally had the highest surface activity count of any of the sample areas at the Manor. That count showed the presence of 510 birds per square meter per 15 minutes. The female Longspur had a difficult time getting sufficient food for the young judging by its crisis throughout the period of observation, she had to make quite spatial gaps between our gathering of one of these little flies & it would have been helpful to have been able to follow in food gathering on a time basis. One of the young of the original set was found death in the nest rest of young (2) were not found. This afternoon while sampling near the Manor itself, another case of a female Longspur feeding a single young. The female was attempting to gather Chironomid adults
