The third year of recording for the BTO Atlas has just started with records needed for the winter period from 1st November 2009 to 28th February 2010.
Requirements for Timed Tetrad Visits should be covered but more Roving Records are needed.
Charles Hull the local BTO Atlas organiser has prepared lists for each 10km square of those species he would expect to be present some time during the winter but have not yet been recorded.
