| 01/05/22 | Great Tit | Sandhurst | 8 | D A MacKenzie Dodds |
| 11:45 | Pair bringing food to active nest low down in very small hollow on willow tree beside main boating lake at Jake's mini-farm, Sandhurst. Inside of nest clearly visible. 6 chicks. . SU826614. | |||
| 01/05/22 | Pied Wagtail | Sandhurst | 5 | D A MacKenzie Dodds |
| 11:30 | Active nest at Jake's mini-farm, Sandhurst. Watched both parents bring in what appeared (in silhouette) to be small, (common darter sized) dragonflies to the nest for the young, but surely it's too early for dragonflies? These were big insects they were catching though and not mayflies from the lakes. SU826614. | |||

| 12/03/22 | Blackbird | Sandhurst | 1 | R J Godden |
| 08:00 | f. Resident garden Blackbird has caught a Smooth Newt and has subjected it to a long and vicious attack before consuming it. I watched a male Blackbird on several occasions in 2021 and a female in 2019 doing the same in the garden, so I can expect to witness this carnage on an almost daily basis through the spring. Is it a trick that Blackbirds elsewhere have learnt? | |||
