Avon Bird Report for 2021 -- Photographs
We are beginning work on the next Avon Bird Report and one item is the photographs. So we would welcome any bird photos taken within the Avon boundary in 2021. Most photos are published in 'landscape' format but not all, in particular the cover photo needs to be in 'portrait' format and here we need a 'stunning' shot possibly of a fairly common bird (or birds) in situ -- we had a rare species last year. Please send files to Harvey Rose using ABR mail address: blacktgodwit@gmail.com
This is not critical but in the first instance lowish resolution versions are preferred. We do need basic details about where and when the photos were taken. We usually publish about 30 shots, some other Reports publish many more, but we could only increase our total if enough photos of publishable quality are received.
