Dunnock - 1980s winter atlas

Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in 1980s BTO winter atlas, Dunnock, GHR, Hedge Sparrow, passerine

The BTO winter atlas showed that Dunnocks were present in all 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 24 birds.

However, it should be noted that the figures show a high correlation with the number of recording cards returned (therefore related to recording effort) for each 10km square.
