Work is just beginning on the next Report, for 2023 to be published in the autumn of 2024. We like to include a number of bird photographs so we are asking all local bird photographers if they are willing to submit some shots for possible inclusion. We usually receive about 200 and publish between 30 and 40, it would be good if both of these figures increased this year. So if you have any suitable do please get in touch using my ABR e-mail address blacktgodwit@gmail.com
We are especially keen to hear from any photographer who has not submitted before. Photos should be on a jpeg, or similar file, and have been taken in Avon in 2023.
