Temp -2°C to 02°C - A lot less sun than promised made for a cold, grey day with light winds from the East.
As we start preparations for the 2024 Avon Bird Report we are chasing up supporting notes for a number of locally rare species and subspecies which have been reported during the year.
All the following records have been entered into Birdtrack and Birdtrack will have automatically requested supporting notes, which have not been forthcoming. Be aware, if you use the mobile Birdtrack app you need to regularly log in to the Birdtrack website to receive such requests.
If any of these are your records please submit supporting notes to avonbirds@hotmail.co.uk
