BTO AVON REGION. BREEDING BIRD SURVEY

UNALLOCATED NATIONAL SQUARES

This is a list of the BBS National squares that are at present 'unallocated'. The list is rather longer than usual caused in part by an extra allocation of squares by the BTO and in part by the disruptions of the last couple of years. If you are interested in any of these squares please drop me a line - they will of course be allocated on a 'first-come, first-served' basis.
