This short talk will provide an introduction to BirdTrack, what it is about, where and how the records are used and how you can get the most from BirdTrack, be that as a beginner or a more experienced user.

16.20 The “Salop Obs”- Tom Lowe
Birding from the garden since way before it was cool/enforced by lockdown. Dabbling in VisMig, NocMig, big sits, thermal birding and moth trapping.
