2007-11 Bird Atlas – How
can I help ?
|
|
If you’ve read about the
planned methods for the Atlas, and you’d like to help – then there are
two ways you can do it.
Firstly, something that
anyone can easily do, is submit Roving Records. We need a lot
more of these – especially with breeding evidence, and especially for
less well-visited tetrads.
Please submit
records via
www.birdatlas.net or
www.birdtrack.net - but always
include the tetrad letter.
If you’d like to do
something a little more systematic, then there are still tetrads
requiring Timed Tetrad Visits. You can see on the website
www.birdatlas.net which ones
are unallocated, and click on one if you’d like to do it. Alternatively,
simply email me with a list of all the tetrads where you’d like to do
the timed 2-hour counts. Remember though, that each tetrad only needs
covering in one year (two visits summer and two visits in winter), so it
shouldn’t be too difficult for you to do up to (say) ten tetrads during
the 4-year project.
See the “tetrad letters
and numbers” bit of the website for an easy way of referring to tetrads.
