Happy New Year!

30 Dec 2011 Great Northern Diver by Steven Carey

A huge thank you for all your BirdTracking efforts in 2011, and good birding in 2012. A mild end to 2011 saw relatively few records of species usually associated with severe winter weather, including Woodcock and Waxwing. Both these species showed significantly lower reporting rates than in the previous two winters. The extremely windy weather of the first few days of January may well result in an increase in records of species that usually winter at sea, such as Great Northern Divers, as they are displaced to inland waters.
