Bird Atlas - Winter 2

The second winter starts tomorrow. Let's build on the great start to the Atlas in the York Region and get minimum coverage for TTVs in these squares: SE53, SE57, SE64, SE73, SE75, SE76 and SE77. You can see the available tetrads on the Atlas website.

I also need volunteers to do Roving Recording in all areas. The species lists will be available online soon once there has been an upgrade. This includes nocturnal visits to listen for owls etc. Please let me know if you have done a nocturnal visit as I can only see if there's been one without hearing or seeing anything.

Have a look at http://blx1.bto.org/atlas-results/allocyork.html for current regional results. Note the % Species Richness indicator.

The main batch of paper TTV results from the Breeding season have been input and are in the process of being checked. So they should appear on the database early next week.

Review & validation functionality will be added soon as well. New servers are having to be installed to allow this to run efficiently. The website will be down for 2 or 3 days to allow the upgrade - news of this when I have it.

Enjoy your Atlasing.
