It is pleasing to see an increase in the
number of reports this year up from 11 last year for example.
Also pleasing is the number of species
found within our boundaries – again up from recent years which have hovered
around 50.
It is probably not surprising that the
species most frequently noted were Blackbird and Woodpigeon closely followed
by Blue Tit, Jackdaw, Robin and Rook.
I am grateful to everyone who was able to
take part. Many have said they enjoyed it. Perhaps this is one positive thing
to come out of the coronavirus restrictions.
