AVON BIRD REPORT -- 2022
Copies of the 2022 edition of the Avon Bird Report are now available, the cover photo is below. It is of a Pallid Swift, one of three seen at Aust at about this time last year. and it was photographed by Mark Coller. The Report itself has 228 pages (including photographs and cover) and contains the usual items with two exceptions - an extensive weather report and a list of ringing recoveries which was not available from the BTO in time. There are two papers, one on a Ringed Plover study in the Avonmouth area by Lyndon Roberts and a second discussing the notable Avon records for the last five years by Andy Davis plus a note on 1952 sightings.
Members of BNS and BOC will receive copies in the next few weeks. Otherwise, copies are available from me at £10 plus £3.00 postage. If you want to buy a copy, and I hope many of you will, please e-mail me and I can send you payment and other details.
