For those of you who would like to be able to read more about Migration Watch at your leisure, we have provided a copy of the instructions and recording forms on this page for you to download. These files contain identical information to that found in our drop-down menus and help buttons. It is not essential to download these files in order to take part. The forms have been designed so that you can print them out and take them out into the field if you wish. Alternatively you may want to complete paper copies of the forms at home so it won't take long to fill in the on-line version. There is no need to use any of these recording forms although it is important to know which species are on your chosen list and to make a record of your observations in the field. The forms are simply provided for those who find them helpful.

These downloads are all supplied as .pdf files so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to read or print them. If you do not already have this software it can be downloaded free from the Adobe web site.

Please note that these files may take several minutes to download, depending on the speed of your modem.

Help for birdwatchers without their own internet access

You can also download the lists and give them to a friend who doesn't have access to the Internet. Perhaps you could kindly offer to input their records too! In that case please register them as a separate observer and enter their records under their own user id. You will need to give your own e-mail address so that you can pass on any queries about their records.

For those who do not have their own internet facilities, public libraries and a range of other outlets provide free or low cost access to the internet. UK Online Centres provide such facilities together with help and advice for those who do not have previous experience of using the internet. Their website will allow you to find out about your nearest UK Online Centres.
