Pembrokeshire Avifauna committee in 1980s BTO winter atlas, GHR, Green Sandpiper, Wader

The BTO winter atlas showed that Green Sandpipers were present in two estuarine 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84.

The colour represents single birds seen a day. The UK is at the northern extremity of the winter range of this species.
