Bird records Jan 2005
Wensum Valley Birdwatching Society
Records – Jan 2005
Thank you to everyone who sent in records.
January saw a great increase in the number of records received without the splendid turnout for the Bird Race. NB I’ve not included the Bird Race records in this summary as they were reported earlier.
Each individual sighting received may not show on this summary, however, all records do contribute towards the annual report and our understanding of the birds of our study area.
Please keep all records coming in by whatever means suits you –see below.
