Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in 1980s BTO winter atlas, Black-tailed Godwit, GHR

 

The BTO winter atlas showed that Black-tailed Godwits were present in only two estuarine 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84, both within the Cleddau Estuary complex  

The light blue colour represents 1-4 birds which is consistent with the Birds of the Estuary Enquiry (BoEE, now WeBS) results at that time.
