A happy New Year to all birders in Greater Manchester and may it be as bird-filled as 2007 has been.
I shall be very happy to receive your 2007 records - there is a form on the Records page of this website which you can download, with tabs for species and sites, so you can cut and paste, to save typing. Please send them to me at judith@gmbirds.freeserve.co.uk They can then be imported directly into our database which saves me hours of inputting.
The county report, the definitive accountof birding in this county, can only be as good as you make it, with your records, and we also need records to safeguard sites against development.
From spring 2008 onwards, your records can also be used for the new county breeding atlas (last edition 1984).
