WVBS Area Records
September 2006
Thank you to everyone who sent in records
I have to get this document to Margaret by the 2nd Thursday of the month for it to be incorporated into the Newsletter. For me to be able to include your records I really need them by the preceding Monday. Whenever I receive your records they get put onto the database but are sometimes too late to go with the Newsletter.
Most of the summer visitors are now departing for warmer climes so try and capture those “last seen” records. So much more difficult than the “first seen” isn’t it!!
Expect flocks of Northern Lapwing and Golden Plover to start building up.
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.
