BIRDS SEEN IN 2011 (PDF)
BIRDS SEEN IN 2010
(PDF)
Each bird has a number denoting more or less the likelihood
of your seeing the bird on a 4-5 day visit to the area, and
birding both alone and with one of the guides on day trips,
warbler walks and shorebird walks. Please note that
abundance refers to the 7th to 16th of
May, and that these may change markedly before and after
that date.
1. You will be almost certain to see these birds if birding
for any
length of time.
2. You will likely see this many times and get good looks
3. You will probably see a few of these
4. You should see 2 or 3 individuals if looking for them
5. With luck maybe one, worth reporting to guides
6. Rare – call someone fast
The symbol * denotes birds you really have to spend time
searching for and will not be found during normal birding
trips.
