Subject: National Willow Tit survey - please consider that fieldwork is now stopped

Dear all

Following the Prime Minister's announcement last night on strict new guidelines to combat the coronavirus pandemic, it is best that the field season for the Willow Tit survey finishes now (3 weeks before the original end date).

Can I request that any survey data already collected be submitted, even if fewer visits were conducted than planned, including single visits?

We will be taking stock of this survey season over the next few months to decide if another field season in 2021 would be worthwhile - I will then update you on how this field season has gone and what our further plans may be.

I would like to thank you all for your help with this survey.

Stay safe.

Best wishes

Simon
