Records – June 2005
Thank you to everyone who sent in records.
The Bird Race on 4th / 5th of June produced many good records that we otherwise would not have received. Do consider entering next year. I’ve also obtained records from the Pensthorpe Log which have not been available to us before.
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.
