Long-eared Owl: 1980s winter atlas

 

The BTO winter atlas showed the 10km squares where Long-eared Owls were recorded 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 2 birds seen in a day, the lighter blue represents single birds.

The BTO winter atlas showed that Kingfishers were present in about 40% of Pembrokeshire 10km squares during the winters of 1981-82, 1982-82 and 1983-84.

Jay - 1980s winter atlas

The BTO winter atlas showed that Jays 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 11 birds.

It is possible that the highest numerical plots were due to a hangover from the Jay invasion of autumn 1983.
