Heathland Bird Survey - update and appeal for Nightjar volunteers
The Woodlark component of the survey is coming to an end this month. In theYork Region, we have 44 sites (1km squares) allocated, and I am hoping for a good proportion of these will have been covered. The BTO's system has been updated to allow data entry now. Many thanks to all surveyors who have taken on squares.
The Nightjar component is now under way, from today to the end of July. There are 25 squares with surveyors allocated, with another six still available. Most of these are in the north of the region, especially areound the Yearsley and Grimston Moor areas. Please visit the BTO's website to sign up for the survey and request a square https://www.bto.org/get-involved/volunteer/projects/heathland-birds-survey.
