The priority for field work for the next winter is to complete timed counts for all tetrads where these have still not taken place. The minimum requirement is just two hours in November or December, and two hours in January or February. In particular, we need to focus on areas outside Greater London (e.g. Essex and Kent). These areas are less populated than inner city areas and so take up of tetrads has been slower. We are therefore especially keen to hear from birders who are willing to travel to these areas so that we can ensure that full coverage is achieved.
