The Bedfordshire Bird Club collects bird records for the county. These are then used to produce the annual bird report and also sent to the Local Records centre to be used for planning applications and research purposes.

What do we want?
The Bedfordshire bird list can be found here and details exactly what records the club requires. These range from all records of some species to just unusual locations and high counts for others. Breeding records are also very useful, and often under-recorded for many species.

How can I send them to you?
There is a variety of ways to send in records to the club:
* Use the form found on the website (single records only)
* Download the Excel form (by right clicking on this link and select 'Save Target As' - also please enable, or say yes to, macros when you open this file up) and email it back to the county recorder
* By letter or record card and then posted to the county recorder

A supply of bird report cards can be obtained from the County recorder, Steve Blain, at the address below.
