2019 bird records
If anyone has any bird records they haven't already sent to the blog team or to BOC, or entered into Birdtrack, please send them to avonbirds@hotmail.co.uk before the end of January so they may be included in the 2019 Avon Bird Report. Ideally records should be on a spreadsheet, and show at least the species, the number of individuals, the date seen (dd/mm/yyyy) and the site.
