Info Post
The BTO have made it quite easy now to get a 10km square list of species and current breeding status to show where evidence of confirmed breeding is still lacking. It is quite easy to look at these lists and hopefully this summer we can reduce the percentage lacking breeding confirmation.

SM71 (includes a large chunk of Skomer for example) has the highest percentage of unconfirmed breeding at present (75%). The sad fact is that there are many records going into the Atlas via Bird Track (Skomer being the best example of this inputting method) with absolutely no breeding status added what so ever, and this for the best watched bird area in the County!

So have a look at the 10 km square lists and see if you can upgrade breeding status in tetrads near you this summer.
