As we approach the end of the year can everyone start to think about whether or not they have submitted all their 2021 bird records so these can be used as we start work on the 2021 Avon Bird Report. If you have already supplied records to the AvonBirds or BirdTrack those have been made available for the bird report.
The attached link sets out what types of records are of interest for the report, which species we need supporting notes for (there are two additions this year, Ruddy Duck and Purple Sandpiper), how to submit your records and why we need supporting notes for some species.
