CHESHIRE AND WIRRAL BIRD REPORT 2024
The CAWOS Bird Report for 2024 has now been published. Although later than we would like, the report is the culmination of a lot of hard work by a number of volunteers. The report is in full colour with around 65 colour photographs. For the first time, the report also has a small number of heatmaps in order to help with the interpretation of the data. The front cover is the Hudsonian Godwit at RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands.
The report has 147 pages and draws on over 420,000 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 remains 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 + £2.50 p&p and copies are available from:
