Hello everyone,
While I subscribe to the chatline, I tend to be a bit out of touch regarding what is going on in the bird observation world. This is the entry I propose to put in the next Annual Bird Report. Has anyone got any comments to make on its accuracy,
or what might have contributed to such a different result from the previous year, where a total of 48 birds were recorded?
