Breeding Bird Survey 2021

In recent years up to 2020, coverage had been running at or just under 40 squares for the BBS and four WBBS sites. Last year Covid-19 restrictions prevented early season visits but a remarkable 75% of allocated BBS squares did have late season visits, with three of the WBBS sites covered too.

Although not all regular surveyors have confirmed, I do know that the following sites are available:

• SE5974 – Martin’s Plantation, near Yearsley;
• SE6169 – north of Farlington;
• SE7774 – Swinton Ings;
• SE7839 – Seaton Ross;
• SE7961 – Acklam Wold;
• SE6750 – south of Dunnington. 
• Furthermore, there is a WBBS site along the River Ouse from York south to Naburn. 

Please contact me to volunteer and for more information.
