Hi all,
New to this site.

Wondered if there was a place for reporting recent sightings in my locality?

I live very near to the Coatham Marsh Nasture Reserve and visit everey day. Would like to post sightings daily for members info. Is this possible?

Like today saw a pair of GARGANEY which, though not rare, were a first for me.

would appreciate your help.

Bryan

Dont forget to report your sightings to the County recorder too.

Garganey are rare bryan. The RSPB british bird book says that there are between 50 and 150 pairs in the uk. You should report Garganey on BirdGuides and maybe even to your county recoder.

Or use BTO's Birdtrack, I think the reports from there are passed to your County Recorder.
