Local
Patch Birdwatching can be greatly
influential in providing ornithological data upon
which population and distributional patterns can
be assessed.
Most
birdwatchers enjoy travelling to nature reserves
and national parks to see birds, and information
on these is usually easily found. However, there
are millions of locations around the United Kingdom
that are used as local birdwatching patches, for
which there is little or no information. Here,
I encourage birdwatchers to contribute information
on their local birdwatching patches. I have begun
by documenting some of my favourite sites, both
past and present.
Please
contact me if you would like to cintribute information
on your own local patches to be included on these
pages. All contributions are welcome: nickupton@birdnerd.co.uk |
