Several observers have revisited their sites, and the 'Site maxima' column in the table provides an estimate of the total number counted after removing possible duplicated counts. A clear increase in numbers can be seen between October and November as individuals of both species arrived into the
country. There was perhaps less of an increase into December, but the difference between the Total and the Site maxima column indicates that many people revisited their sites frequently during that month. Please help us in the last two months of January and February to provide a winter-wide picture of the distribution and abundance of plovers.

Records would be especially valuable around (+/- 3 days) the following count dates to synchronise with existing monitoring schemes: 17 December 2006, 21 January 2007 and 18th February 2007. Records at other times are also valuable.
