Birds? What Birds?!
Yes, that's right - field testing days are back on the agenda and we're starting to book dates for the coming months!
So the list doesn't look too depressingly short, I've included everything that our reps have managed to schedule so far this year. As other reserves open up, In Focus and the RSPB will no doubt add to the list in time.
In the US, Redstart Birding have been running a series of local events (see link below) but most of the major festivals are still running virtually for the time being.

Enjoy!
Cheers, Pete
P.S. Any chance a mod can make this a sticky thread thingy please?
