Hi all,

I'm looking for interested parties who would like to join a network of observers monitoring vis-mig between the Wash and the Severn this autumn. I've had a few volunteers in Warks and a couple in Gloucs. but I'm keen to hear from birders in SW Lincs, Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Worcs, Gloucs and observers in the Severn vale. The aim of the project is to expand on the work of Eric Simms.

If you are interested please send me a message with your email and I'll add you to a mailing list.

Cheers.
 
There are three vis-mig sites that are watched fairly regularly in Leicestershire. I do Deans Lane (aka Beacon Hill on Trekkie) and others do Watermead Country park South and Bardon Hill. Should be possible to contribute.

Eric Simms was a true pioneer. I was very pleased that he agreed to help me with information and references for the migration chapter for the Leicestershire and Rutland avifauna a few years ago, despite the fact he was ailing and died soon afterwards.
