Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in 1980s BTO winter atlas, Coal Tit, GHR, passerine

 

The BTO winter atlas showed that Coal Tit were present in most 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84.

The darker the colour, the higher the relative total count for each 10km square.  The darkest blue represents over 18 birds in a day. Probably numerically under recorded in dense conifer plantations during winter when they do not normally reveal themselves by singing.
