You’ll find out which birds turned up where and when (aka the systematic list) and vicariously experience the thrill of finding county firsts by reading first-hand accounts of discovering Caspian Gull (a bit overdue) and King Eider (blimey!). You’ll catch up with all the great work the county’s ringers have been up to, including a fantastic insight into the wonderful world of colour ringing/marking, including what its teaching us about the Dyfi Greenland White-fronted Geese.
Fear not garden birdwatchers, the Report also includes the results of the 2017 Big Garden Birdwatch, including the top 20 species seen in the county’s gardens. Will they be the same as yours? Well why don’t you just get yourself a copy of the Bird Report and find out!
If that wasn’t enough 2017 was a year of records and you can read about the bird racing, bird chasing mad dash around Ceredigion that resulted in a stonking 124 species seen in a single day. Phew – breathless just thinking about it!
And just like the gift that keeps giving the Report is stuffed to the gunnels with fantastic photos and wonderful art from local wildlife artist Becky Thorley-Fox.
People who know say that this is easily the best Bird Report available in the county so get your now while stocks last!
PS – if you can’t get one yourself send me a cheque for £6.50 (payable to A Williams) to cover the cost of the report and p & p and I’ll stick one in the post. My address is Abernaint, Ffarmers, Llanwrda, Carmarthenshire, SA19 8JR.
