Montgomeryshire County Bird Report 2022 - hot off the press

Last year's illustrated report is here! Just click on the tab 'County Reports' at the top of the page. The Ringing Report will follow later - the BTO has not released it yet.

Many thanks to all the contributors and photographers, especially to Meurig Garbutt, whose Redstart image I chose as the cover photo. Thanks also Mike Haigh, for proof-reading, useful comments and posting up online.
