The CAWOS Bird Report for 2023 has now been published. The report is the product of a team of people working together to develop the content through to the final print. The report is in full colour with around 94 photographs. The front cover is the Black-winged Stilt at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands.
The report has 159 pages and draws on over 225,000 records from various sources including Birdtrack, eBird, BTO, major site reports, website records, ringing reports and, of course, records from individual observers. This publication is the only document to bring all these records together on a County basis.
The county list now stands at 368 – unchanged from 2022. The report also contains the usual detailed listing of Early and Late Dates for Migrants and the BTO Online Ringing Report for Cheshire and Wirral in 2023.
The Bird Report is free to Cheshire and Wirral Ornithological Society members (ordinary membership costs £18), otherwise the cost is £10 + £2 p&p and copies are available from:
