Birds index page | ||
New visitors to www.eakringbirds.com often
wonder why a website with an ornithological title is actually all about
invertebrates. But although the direction of the website changed many
years ago (around 2008) there is still masses of information on
considerably more than a hundred pages, all detailing the ornithological
history of the website's original Eakring and Kersall recording area. Much of the recording work at Eakring involved visible migration, breeding bird surveys (both including annual reviews) and a number of specific studies detailing the often changing status the area's farmland birds. There is a comprehensive list of all rare bird records, rarity accounts, migrant arrival and departure dates between 1998 and 2012, three systematic species lists and accounts for 1998-2007, 2008 and 2009. At the time, www.eakringbirds.com was well known for its daily/regular updates and the bird news page was always well visited. While the latest bird news has not been updated since 2013, there are links to previous monthly bird news dating back to 2003, which give an insight into what can turn up on a small local patch in arable Nottinghamshire ..... with an enormous amount of effort and dedication. |
