Wensum Valley Birdwatching Society

Why do we want your records?

To help build up a picture of the seasonal occurrence of Birds in the Wensum Valley area and to communicate that to our members and to other interested groups.

What to submit

If you are a visitor to our area we accept documentation in any written form that the reporter finds convenient. You can use our reporting form or  MS Excel spreadsheet – we need to know the species, numbers seen, date, location and grid reference , your name, and any comments about the bird you wish to add.

We particularly welcome on sightings of shyer birds in our area including (in no particular order):

• buzzard (common and honey), harriers and other raptors
• egrets, little and great, and unusual herons
• waders including plovers, snipe
• lesser spotted woodpecker
• marsh and willow tit (if confident of distinguishing between them)
• less common warblers in season; all warblers out of season
• buntings, larks, pipits and less common finches

For members, please use the reporting form or MS Excel spreadsheet and send it in at the end of each month (if you would like to see your notes in the following newsletter) or at any time before the end of the year in order to contribute to our Annual List.

The Guidelines for submitting records are here. Please use these standard names.

To send your message by email, please type the following email address into your email programme.  This helps to minimise the amount of spam sent to the address.  You can attach the completed record form spreadsheet if you wish.
