London Bird Atlas–
Winter Distribution Maps:
2007/08 - 2010/11
Background
The Atlas project aims to map the distribution of birds within the London area during winter (November – February) and the breeding season (April-July).
Breeding season distribution will be compared with those mapped during the previous breeding season atlas projects (1968-72 and 1988-94).
Winter distribution maps have never been produced before.
The distribution of each species for both seasons will be produced at a tetrad (2km square) level, with the exception of a small number of sensitive species for which maps will be produced at a lower level or not at all. The LNHS area is a circle including all points within 20 miles of St. Paul’s Cathedral. There are a total of 856 tetrads in this area so a significant amount of survey effort is required. General maps of the LNHS area showing topographical features, towns, and boundaries can be downloaded from the Recording and Mapping page.
These are provisional distribution maps and records may still need to be validated by the atlas organisers and/or the LNHS recorders and ID Panel. They cover records from the winter 2007/2008 and winter 2008/2009 seasons. Where a tetrad is blank it does not necessarily mean the species is not present in that tetrad, it may be that no recording has yet been undertaken there.
Each map will open in a new window or tab. In most browsers (e.g. IE and Firefox) click on the image to enlarge it. Some other browsers will display the map full size.

Although images are not captioned with the species name, it appears at the top of the browser window and, if printed, as part of the URL address at the foot of the printed page.
