Hi All
I along with quite a few other new birders are a bit puzzled as to why none of the sites on here (internet that is) that put recent sightings up or monthly reports on sightings up on the internet never put the Common or Basic Regular species on their reports.
I for one have noticed a drop in the following species at some of my local reserves and would like to visit other reserves to see such birds as House Sparrow, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Starlings, Skylarks, Robins and many more.
Because there are no reports of these species and others I take it they are now extinct in the UK, or as one person from a reserve (I will not name said they couldn’t be bothered to put such common species on their reports as everyone as seen them) guess what if you can’t be bothered then why should I be bothered to visit again and please don’t come back with the it takes to long to put them all on the internet if you want people to come to your reserve then a little extra time on the inputting data would be worth it wouldn’t it.
Then maybe the beginners would stay around a bit longer and take this hobby more seriously here’s hoping.
Just a little rant out of the way but hey come on give everyone a chance and put ALL species seen on your reserves on your daily or monthly reports.
Kind Regards
Adrian
