I’ve made this a ‘sticky’ post for a while – hope y’all don’t mind.

Not a sighting I know, but bear with me. Well done to Graham Powell for being the first person to send his 2016 bird records to me – no prize sorry! So, it is an opportune moment for me to issue a plea to all East Glam birders out there to get your records for 2016 in please. Most contributors already use the preferred spreadsheet but if you need one let me know, or download it from the Records page of the web site {http://www.glamorganbirds.org.uk/records.html}. My details are on the main web site contacts page. I would like to get all records in by the end of Jan as it takes quite a long time to collate them all into a single spreadsheet. Thanks in anticipation. Any birds requiring descriptions shd be sent to our Recorder, Phil Bristow, ASAP. The lists of description species are also on the above linked page. [These need updating due to recent changes, which will do shortly.
