Sighting location: UK - but especially Breconshire!. Sighting date: 30/10/09
The third winter phase of the UK and local Atlas starts on Sunday 1st November. I particularly appeal to all birders (wherever you might be!) to do a Timed Tetrad Visit (TTV) which is only a max 4 hrs time commitment over the winter. Locally, many interesting sites and tetrads still remain. Contact details on Home Page. Thanks.
