Marshes (Welsh Wildlife Centre), Ystwyth Bookshop in Aberystwyth or from John Davis (01970 890281).
Sales revenue plus some advertising revenue will ensure that our publisher, The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, who pays the printer, is reimbursed in full.
(As we have no county bird club and no Hon. Treasurer, I do maintain sales revenue figures and the cost of printing figure and Russell Jones has a copy, should anyone want to know about the finances of The Report.)
Work has started on the 2008 Report, the bulk of which is made up of records of bird sightings, predominently from local bird watchers, which were sent to Russell, our County Recorder.
The various articles in the 2007 Report were written by local birdwatchers and I would be delighted to receive more contributions for the next Report. They could be about the birds on your local 'patch', along the lines of Harry's acclaimed piece on birdwatching from the prom at Aberystwyth or about an interesting or unusual aspect of bird behaviour, like Bob's one about a Buzzard, or about any aspect of the birds and birdwatching in Ceredigion. Contributions from local nature reserve wardens would be welcomed.
Photographs will also be welcomed for the next Report and not just of rare or scarce species seen in the county. The 2007 Report has a great mix of attractive photos.
Contributors are asked to get in touch with me either by phone, 01970 890281 or e-mail: johndavis@midwalesbirdwatching.co.uk
Many thanks to all birdwatchers for past contributions of bird records, articles and photographs and to everyone who buys and reads the Reports.
