Request for 2020 records

Around this time of year, on a wet day, I think about compiling the next annual county bird report. I already have all the 2020 posts on the Montgomeryshire Bird Blog, the MWT garden survey forms, and the records from the Dolydd Hafren hide. Next I will access all the county's 2020 records from BTO Birdtrack and iRecord. But many interesting records will slip through the net! Please let me know of any I may miss, with an email to montbird@gmail.com
Also, if you have any good bird photos from 2020 taken within the county, which haven't been posted on the blog, I'd like to see them.

Previous annual reports can be found by clicking the tab above: 'County Reports.'
Many thanks to all of you who have sent, or will send, records or photos.
