Bird records July 2005
Monthly Bird Records – July 2005
Thank you to everyone who sent in records.
After an excellent set of records for June the number received in July has been rather disappointing. The first returning Golden Plovers were reported from Worthing and a Cattle Egret caused a degree of excitement until Pensthorpe acknowledged its loss.
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.
