National Willow Tit Survey 2019/2020

We're halfway through the National Willow Tit Survey.

Last year in Montgomeryshire, we surveyed 45 Tetrads (2 x 2 km squares) and found 40 pairs of Willow Tit. We still have more than 30 Tetrads to survey in March & April 2020! 
 
If anyone would like to get involved then please email me : montbird@gmail.com 
We are particularly short of surveyors in the south of the county e.g. around Llanidloes and Hafren Forest.

News of any casual sightings of Willow Tit during 2020 would also be very much appreciated.

    Hi Mike. Spirit willing but body not I'm afraid but I will be out and about so will pass on any casual sightings. There is so much suitable habitat down here you'd be spoiled for choice. Eryl
