Wetland Bird Survey 2008-09

The next WeBS count is due on September 14th.

Volunteers for the following sites would be appreciated:
Cosheston Pill
Trefloyne Pools
Dowrog Pool

I note from this blog that there are occasional observations at Solva Harbour, Tenby beaches and Amroth. If anyone would like to make a regular contribution (one count a month on or close to a specified date) from these or any other site they think might be of interest, please let me know.

From the blog, I've compiled a maximum August count for the Cleddau Estuary (not all sectors were looked at, and not on the same dates, and not all lists were comprehensive, so these totals are just an indication of what was around):
