Woodpigeon - 1980s winter

The BTO winter atlas showed that Woodpigeons were present in the majority of 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 246 birds seen in a day.

Willow Tit - 1980s winter

  The BTO winter atlas showed that Willow Tits were present in the majority of 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 6 birds seen in a day.

The plotted winter distribution was slightly less widespread than that of the breeding season possibly due to a difference in observer effort, as this species is considered to be sedentary.

Woodcock - 1980s winter

 

The BTO winter atlas showed that Woodcocks were present in the majority of 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 4 birds seen in a day.

Not easy to locate so it is likely this species was under recorded.

The darker the colour, the higher the relative total count for each 10km square.  The darkest blue represents 3-10 birds seen in a day.

They were mostly seen in association with Common Scoters.
